Altuve is dealing with a right knee sprain, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Altuve underwent an MRI on Friday, and manager Dusty Baker said that his injury was revealed to be a knee sprain. He's not in the lineup Friday and is unlikely to play during the Astros' weekend series against the Yankees. Aledmys Diaz should fill in at second base while Altuve is sidelined.

Drury cleared waivers Friday and was outrighted to the Blue Jays' alternate training site.

Drury failed to make an impact during his time on the big-league roster, hitting just .152/.184/.174 in 49 plate appearances. He now owns a .205/.254/.346 slash line over the last three seasons combined, so it's hardly a surprise that he passed through waivers unclaimed.

Arraez (kneecap) will remain on the bench for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Arraez left Wednesday' game against the White Sox with left patellar soreness and did not take part in the first game of Friday's twin bill. Marwin Gonzalez starts at second base in his absence.

Torres (hamstring) could return to the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Torres has missed just over two weeks with a hamstring strain. At one point, general manager Brian Cashman stated that the shortstop would miss 3-to-6 weeks, but he appears to be ahead of that schedule. He took part in a scrimmage at the Yankees' alternate training site Friday and is expected to join his teammates Saturday, though he may not be activated until the following day.

Arraez (kneecap) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

The 23-year-old was lifted from Wednesday's contest with left patellar soreness, and he'll remain out of the lineup for at least one game. It's unclear if Arraez will be available off the bench or for the nightcap. Ehire Adrianza will start at the keystone for the Twins, batting sixth.

Altuve (knee) is considered day-to-day after undergoing an MRI on Friday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

The 30-year-old was removed from Thursday's contest with right knee discomfort after a hard slide into third base, but it appears he avoided a serious injury. Altuve previously underwent surgery on the same knee following the 2018 campaign. It's unclear if he'll be available for Friday's matchup with the Angels, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Astros stay cautious and give him a couple days to rest up.

Biggio went 1-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

The 25-year-old continues to thrive atop the order for the Jays. Since the beginning of August, Biggio is slashing .269/.402/.463 through 29 games with four homers, three steals, 15 RBI and 24 runs.

Altuve will receive an MRI on his right knee Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Altuve exited Thursday's series finale against the Rangers with knee discomfort after sliding hard into third base in the first inning.

Altuve left Thursday's game with right knee discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

The video looked more like a potential groin injury than a knee injury, but this is a bit more concerning. The team may opt to send him for tests, but for now he should be considered day-to-day.
