FACTS/FLUKES: Altuve, Longoria, Minor, Woodruff, Sierra

Can Altuve return to his elite status?... From 2014-17, Jose Altuve (2B, HOU) was a consistent $45+ R$ earner and one of the most valuable players in fantasy baseball, but in 2018, an injury that turned out to be an avulsion fracture in his right knee took a major bite out of his performance and value (and led to the first DL stint of his entire career). After offseason surgery to address the problem, can he return to his formerly lofty stature?
