It was the second significant injury suffered by an All-Star player in WBC pool play in Miami, after New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz suffered a torn patellar tendon while celebrating Puerto Rico's win over the Dominican Republic on Wednesday. He is expected to miss the entire 2023 season.
Altuve, who will turn 33 in May, was coming off another stellar season for the reigning champion Astros, having hit .300 with a .921 OPS in 2022.
