Reddick went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 11-0 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick was mired in a 2-for-16 skid before his three-single night Tuesday. Despite the recent downturn, he remains atop the Astros with a .352 batting average and second with 32 hits. If only those hits translated into run production; Reddick has just seven RBI over 25 games.

Reddick went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-1 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick put a cap on this game with a two-run shot in the eighth inning, giving him four consecutive mutli-hit games during a seven-game hitting streak. He's hitting .536/.567/.893 with three home runs, six RBI and nine runs scored during the streak. The Astros have a pair of elite-prospect outfielders in the minors -- Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker -- that are expected to hit Houston at some point this season, but as long as Reddick is swinging a productive bat, there isn't an immediate need.

Reddick went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer in a 9-1 victory against the Athletics on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This was rare power from Reddick, who only had one extra-base hit coming into Tuesday, but he is batting .319 (15-for-47) in 13 games. Last season, Reddick was a .242 hitter with 17 bombs. It's still early, and the power will likely come -- as it did Tuesday -- but Reddick featuring more average than power isn't out of the question. Two years ago, he hit .314 with only 13 homers.

Reddick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick will retreat to the bench with southpaw Marco Gonzales on the hill for Seattle, affording Tony Kemp a turn in the outfield. The 32-year-old owns a .233/.292/.383 slash line across 1,054 career plate appearances against left-handed pitching.

Reddick is on the bench Wednesday against southpaw James Paxton and the Yankees, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick isn't quite in a strict platoon, but he's sat against three of the four lefties the Astros have faced so far this season. George Springer slides over to right field as usual, with Jake Marisnick entering the lineup in center.

Reddick went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick, who sat out Opening Day, has started two straight games since, delivering three singles in eight at-bats. The decision to sit him Thursday was likely due to Tampa Bay throwing a left-hander. For now, expect Reddick in right field whenever the Astros face a right-hander.
