The Houston Astros have reinstated All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve (left oblique strain) from the 10-day injured list and he is slated to bat fifth as the club opens a three-game home series vs. the Athletics on Friday.
In a corresponding move, Houston optioned outfielder Zach Dezenzo to Triple-A Sugar Land.
Altuve was placed on the IL on May 17 after taking an unorthodox swing the previous night against the Texas Rangers.
Altuve, 36, was hitting .245 with four home runs and 12 RBIs through 42 games.
The Astros are 9-8 in the 17 games that Altuve has missed.
The nine-time All-Star is hitting well below his career average of .302. Earlier this year, he played in his 2,000th game with the Astros and is currently 72 hits shy of 2,500 in his 16-year career.
Dezenzo, 26, was hitting .191 with one home run and two RBIs in 21 games in his third season with the Astros.
