Jose Altuve resumed some baseball activities this week, but there isn't a timetable for him to return to the Houston Astros.

Altuve fractured his right thumb in the World Baseball Classic and had surgery to repair the injury March 22. After the surgery the Astros said the second baseman would be out at least eight weeks.

It has been six weeks so far, and while Altuve was cleared to return to baseball activities this week -- including throwing, running and fielding -- he hasn't been cleared to swing.
