Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will soon have surgery on his right thumb, which was injured during the World Baseball Classic on Saturday evening. Altuve left the game in the fifth inning after a 95 mph pitch hit his hand. He played for Venezuela during the tournament, and the U.S. defeated Venezuela 9-7 in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Altuve's surgery is likely to be scheduled in the next few days.
