After the Houston Astros held a defensive session practicing cut-offs and relay throws on a back field at their spring training complex Friday morning, Jose Altuve walked to the dugout with the position group he has occupied early in camp.

Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was willing to move to left field if it meant bringing back longtime teammate Alex Bregman, but those days are done in Houston.

Despite not bringing back free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, a move which would have created a logjam on the infield, the Astros remain full speed ahead with trying out franchise icon Jose Altuve in left field this spring.
