Aoki is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Royals, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Jason Vargas on the mound for the Royals, Astros manager A.J. Hinch will play to the matchup by giving Aoki a day off while the right-handed-hitting Jake Marisnick checks into the lineup. Even as a semi-regular starter in a potent Astros offense, Aoki has failed to provide much of an impact in the fantasy realm, hitting .258 with only nine RBI and 11 runs more than a third of the way through the season.
