The Houston Astros head into the All-Star break trailing the Texas Rangers by only two games in the American League West.
Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez are looking to start a rehab assignment in the minors shortly after the All-Star break, so that's good news for the Astros offense.
Altuve and Alvarez have only played in 13 games together so far this season, and the Astros' record in those games is 10-3. So they definitely can provide a boost to the club.

The Texans may have to start their third string linebacker this week, Neville Hewitt, if both Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o are unable to play.
Plus, corner Kamari Lassiter is not likely to play in a matchup against several quality Green Bay receivers.
