Good news and bad news came from Houston's series-opener with Oakland on Monday night at Minute Maid Park. The Astros got back to .500 at 53-53 with a 4-3 win that featured 5 Houston doubles and a fantastic outing for Jared Cosart (7-5, 3.91).

Cosart got the win, scattering 7 hits over 6.2 innings, striking out 4, walking 2 and allowing just 1 run. Closer Jesse Crain earned his 28th Save in 31 opportunities, surrendering a lone walk in the ninth.

Unfortunately, the Astros lost their leadoff man when second baseman Jose Altuve dislocated his throwing shoulder after making a diving stop in the 4th inning.

Manager Bo Porter said that Altuve will be placed on the 15-day DL but Porter also said that the injury could sideline the second baseman for the rest of the season. "4 to 8 weeks", are what Porter said would be a realistic timeline for Jose's return.

The injury has brought about a move that many Astros' fans have been clamoring for - the promotion of shortstop Carlos Correa. Correa, 19, was drafted first overall by Houston in 2012 and has quickly risen through the system to lead Houston's AAA-affiliate, Oklahoma City, in most offensive categories this season. What's more, Correa is more heavily lauded for his play in the field and is already considered by most in the organization to be the club's best option at short.

Porter went on to say that the injury will cause Marwin Gonzalez to become the "everyday" option at second while Correa and Jonathan Villar share time at short.
