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.
