Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Altuve will play left field in first Grapefruit League game this spring, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Altuve has seen significant reps in the outfield in the early days of camp and will work with the outfielders exclusively over the next 4-to-5 days.

The Houston astros resumed training camp in West Palm Beach, Florida and the face of the franchise is ready to begin a spring of transition. Training camp is different this year for Jose Altuve, after sharing the last nine years infield with former astros Alex Bregman.
