Altuve, who stands 5-foot-6, has never played the outfield at any point over his more than 15,000 defensive innings.

As Alex Bregman may not be part of the Astros anymore, Jose Altuve would do anything to save the relationship,

If the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve will likely move to the outfield. That alignment shuffle will have Houston's lineup looking different once Opening Day arrives.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said he expects Altuve to take reps practicing as a left fielder next month during the team's Spring Training in West Palm Beach, Florida. Altuve has never logged a game in the outfield across his 14 MLB seasons, and he's logged just two starts at shortstop, his only non-second-base position to date.

At the team's Fanfest, Jose Altuve talked about his willingness to play the outfield if it will help the Astros re-sign Alex Bregman in free agency.

Though the Astros have re-engaged with Bregman, general manager Dana Brown on Saturday characterized any potential reunion as a “long shot” given the state of Houston’s roster. Brown intimated that Bregman’s slow-moving market surprised the club and caused it to circle back.
