HOUSTON -- All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve left the Houston Astros' 10-0 win over the Seattle Mariners in the first inning with an injured right hamstring.

Houston manager A.J. Hinch said the team doesn't think the injury is serious, but Altuve will be out of the lineup Saturday.

The Astros led 8-0 in the first when Altuve came up to bat for the second time in the inning Friday night. He pulled up after trying to beat the throw to first on a grounder and hobbled to the dugout.

Altuve grimaced as he untucked his jersey and walked toward the clubhouse before being replaced by Marwin Gonzalez in the second inning.Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts as Altuve's replacement.
