Aoki is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros will go with an all-right-handed or switch-hitting lineup Sunday to counter southpaw Martin Perez, leaving no room in the starting nine for Aoki, Josh Reddick and Brian McCann. Aoki actually owns comparable career batting lines against both right- and left-handed pitching, but the Astros' wealth of bats will enable manager A.J. Hinch to mix and match his lineups as he pleases.
