Beltran is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran is just 4-for-18 (.222) in his career against Mariners starter James Paxton, so he will not start Friday with Paxton getting the start. Jose Altuve will get a chance to rest his legs Friday while he serves as the designated hitter in Beltran's place.

Beltran is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran is just 3-for-18 (.167) in six September games, so he'll get the day off to clear his head as Evan Gattis takes over designated hitter duties. The 40-year-old earned an All-Star selection after hitting .295 with 29 homers last season, but he's followed that up with a lackluster .231 average and 14 homers this season.

Beltran is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran went 2-for-3 with a double and run scored during the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader, but he'll head to the bench as the Astros close out their weekend series against Kendall Graveman and the A's. Evan Gattis will handle the DH duties in his stead.

Beltran is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland, The Houston Chronicle's Jake Kaplan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran heads to the bench following three straight starts, going 1-for-11 at the plate since returning from neck and back soreness, a setback that cost him four games at the beginning of the month. In his place, Carlos Correa will slide over to the DH spot while Marwin Gonzalez draws a start at shortstop.

Beltran (back) is starting at DH and batting seventh during Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran will rejoin the starting lineup after missing the previous four games with a minor foot injury and general upper back soreness. The 40-year-old will look to find his footing at the plate, as he hit just .210 during the month of August.

Beltran (back) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran is set to miss his fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with neck and back soreness. The issue isn't thought to be overly serious, and the Astros remain hopeful Beltran will be able to return to the starting nine before Wednesday's series finale. In the meantime, Yulieski Gurriel will serve as DH in his absence.

Beltran is dealing with upper back and neck soreness and is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran hasn't appeared in a game since Thursday due to what was previously characterized as a foot injury, but according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Astros manager A.J. Hinch clarified that it's a different issue that has been bothering the veteran DH of late. Fortunately, Hinch downplayed the severity of the back issue and suggested that Beltran is a candidate to return to the lineup at some point during the Astros' three-game series in Seattle that begins Monday.

Beltran (foot) remains out of the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

He was confident that he would play Saturday despite the foot issue, but Beltran will end up sitting out both games of the twin bill. Jose Altuve will serve as the DH against Seth Lugo in the nightcap as Marwin Gonzalez takes over at second base.

Beltran (foot) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier this week that Beltran expects to play Saturday, so perhaps he will be in the lineup for the nightcap. George Springer will start at DH and lead off while Cameron Maybin takes over in center field.

Beltran (foot) said that he expects to be able to play Saturday, following his removal from Thursday's contest, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran was struck on his right foot by a pitch in the seventh inning of Thursday's game. He was forced to exit the contest and appears to be getting a day off during Friday's series opener against the Mets. With a doubleheader on tap Saturday in a National League park, it remains to be seen whether manager AJ Hinch will place him in the outfield or just have Beltran come off the bench as a pinch hitter, if he's able to play at all.
