Aoki is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aoki landed the start on Opening Day, but he'll head to the bench for a day off despite right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma taking the ball for Seattle. Carlos Beltran will slide over to left field to fill his void while Evan Gattis takes a turn as the designated hitter.
