One Astro that is pumped about his former teammate returning to the team is second baseman Jose Altuve, who responded to the news with a post on his Instagram story of a graphic of Correa pointing to his wrist, saying, "it's time," followed by two clock emojis.

Jose Altuve led the way in the victory, going 4-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored and three RBIs. The former American League MVP is now hitting .284 with 18 home runs. He also tied franchise legend Lance Berkman in some excellent team history, per @StatsCentre:

The Houston Astros' offense had its second good game in a row and Jose Altuve had his 41st four-hit game to beat Washington before trade deadline.

The Houston Astros limped through much of July with a bruised and battered lineup, filled with rookies and replacement players. August will start with two welcomes for manager Joe Espada's nightly lineup card.
