How was Jose Altuve’s first game in left field with the Houston Astros against the New York Mets for their Opening Day game at Daikin Park.

Jose Altuve has played in nearly 1,800 MLB games in what probably will be a Hall of Fame career, with 1,765 of them at second base. But in 2025, the Houston Astros veteran is moving out to left field for much of the season. And as we've seen in spring training (see below), he's had some trouble out there.

HOUSTON — Jose Altuve’s first play in the outfield as a professional baseball player was eventful. With two outs and two on in the top of the first against the Mets on Thursday, Brandon Nimmo lofted a fly ball to left-center field, where center fielder Jake Meyers seemed to have a read on it.
