Jose Altuve, transitioning from second base to left field for the Houston Astros, requested to hit second in the batting order to allow more time to prepare after fielding. At 34, Altuve recognized the need for additional time due to the new position and praised teammate Jeremy Peña, who stepped into the leadoff spot. Peña's explosive capabilities are seen as advantageous for the struggling lineup, signaling Altuve's strategic thinking as he adapts to his new role while aiming for team success.
I just told Joe that maybe he can hit me second some games at some point and he did it today.
Jeremy is one of those guys that has been playing really good for our team. He's taking really good at-bats.
