Reddick (back) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

This isn't much of a surprise, as it was expected that Reddick would sit out for the remainder of the regular season with a sore back. Fortunately, his health is said to be improving. The current expectation is that if Reddick is able to workout with the team Tuesday and Wednesday he'll be ready to play Thursday, so more information regarding his status for the playoffs should be known soon.

Reddick (back) will not play again until the postseason, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reddick continues to battle back pain, so he has been sent back to Houston for further tests, and will not be available for the Astros' final series of the regular season. Assuming nearly a full week more of rest and recovery helps his back improve, Reddick figures to start in right field for Game 1 of the Astros' ALDS series.

Reddick (back) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Reddick was able to get some cuts in Thursday, but he is still not ready to rejoin Houston's lineup. Derek Fisher will get the start in right field Friday night.

Reddick (back) swung in the indoor batting cages at Fenway Park prior to Thursday's game, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reddick, who hasn't played since Sunday, was still feeling soreness and held out of Thursday's game. He speculated that the flight to Boston didn't help and is hoping to get back into the lineup Friday after a full day of activity Thursday.

Reddick (back) will remain on the bench for Thursday's game against Boston, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although manager A.J. Hinch stated that Reddick would likely be able to return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener, the outfielder will occupy a spot on the bench for a fourth straight game while recovering from a back injury. With right-hander Doug Fister taking the mound for the Red Sox on Friday, Reddick could slide back into the starting nine if he's feeling up to par.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Reddick (back) should return to the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reddick is out of the lineup Wednesday for a third straight game, but Hinch suggested the decision to hold Reddick out again was precautionary with the postseason looming. The team could always reverse course and sit Reddick again Thursday with lefty Eduardo Rodriguez due up, but it sounds like the 30-year-old will be fully available for the final series of the regular season.

Reddick (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's absence marks Reddick's third straight due to back soreness, and his status for the start of the team's final regular-season series in Boston is up in the air. The Astros are likely focused on just making sure Reddick is feeling better for the start of the ALDS. Reddick's contributions have been somewhat overlooked this season -- he's been a borderline top-30 fantasy outfielder to this point.

Reddick (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It was announced Monday night that Reddick was unlikely to start Tuesday due to his sore back, and that will indeed be the case. With Reddick out, George Springer will slide over and cover right field, and Cameron Maybin will replace Springer in center field.

Manager A.J. Hinch said after the Astros' 11-2 win over the Rangers on Monday that Reddick is dealing with a sore back and is unlikely to play Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros have already punched their ticket to the American League Division Series, so there isn't much incentive for the team to have Reddick overextend himself as the regular season winds down while he nurses an injury. The team will likely want to get him back in the outfield for a game or two before the playoffs arrive, but don't be surprised if Reddick is out of commission for the duration of the series with the Rangers.

Reddick is not in the lineup Monday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Reddick will head to the bench after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Sunday's loss. He missed Saturday's contest with a sore back, so the Astros are likely playing it safe with him seeing as they already locked up the division. Derek Fisher will start in his place in right field.
