Valbuena will be out of the lineup Sunday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Astros are facing a right-handed starting pitcher in Jimmy Nelson on Sunday, the lefty-hitting Valbuena will give way to Marwin Gonzalez in what likely just amounts to a maintenance day for Valbuena. The veteran infielder had started each of the Astros' previous six games at third base, going 5-for-19 with two RBI and two runs scored.
