Beltran is not in the lineup Thursday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran is in the midst of a brutal 6-for-37 (.162) slide over his past 10 games, so he'll head to the bench to clear his mind. Evan Gattis will serve as the DH, opening up a spot for Juan Centeno to start behind the dish.

Beltran went hitless in four at-bats and left three men in scoring position in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran's average dropped to .234 after the slugger's hit just .162 (6-for-37) after a 10-game slide. Even worse, can we call him a "slugger" when he's slugging .373, last among the Astros' regulars and 143rd in MLB? With just four home runs and 14 RBI through 158 at-bats, Beltran has not provided the middle-of-the-order bat the Astros thought they were getting when they signed him during the offseason.

Beltran is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Just as the Yankees did last season, the Astros have made a habit of resting the 40-year-old Beltran during day games in 2017, and that trend will continue Wednesday. After going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's win, Beltran will be replaced in left field by Josh Reddick in the series finale.

Beltran is not in the lineup Monday against the Marlins, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

With no DH spot for Beltran to fill, he'll head to the bench for a night off. In addition to this, he could see limited playing time for the next couple days as well unless the Astros are content with using him in the outfield over Norichika Aoki, which has happened seven times this season.

Beltran is not in the starting lineup for the first game of Houston's double-header against the Yankees on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 40-year-old outfielder/DH is expected to play in the nightcap. In the day game, Jose Altuve will serve as designated hitter while Marwin Gonzalez starts at second base.

Beltran went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs against the Braves on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He followed up Carlos Correa's first-inning long ball by making it back-to-back jacks, helping the Astros out to a fast start. Beltran has had a tough year, and he's been showing few signs of warming up, so this was nice to see out of him. At 40 years old, Beltran is obviously long past his prime, and although he's coming off a big 2016 season, he's showing every sign of being in precipitous decline, with that 3:32 BB:K particularly sticking out.

Beltran is not in the Astros' Thursday lineup, Julia Morales of ROOT Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 40-year-old will take a seat for the matinee outing. Beltran should be back for the Astros on Friday against the Angels' Jesse Chavez.

Beltran went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The three-strikeout performance dropped Beltran's slash line to .231/.271/.330, and he's struck out 24 times and walked just three times in 96 plate appearances. Aside from back-to-back games with home runs April 20 and April 21, the 40-year-old hasn't been able to get much going with the lumber. He'll need to show signs of life at the plate in order to continue seeing regular playing time.

Beltran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

It's little more than a routine off day for the veteran in the series finale. With Beltran resting up for the afternoon contest, Evan Gattis will bat seventh in the order and serve as the Astros' designated hitter.

Beltran is not in the lineup Thursday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran will head to the bench after starting the last six games (two in left field), while Brian McCann takes over as DH and Evan Gattis serves as the backstop.
