Reddick (back) will return to the lineup Sunday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick sat out Saturday's contest after exiting Friday's series opener with mild back pain. He's good to go for the Sunday night primetime affair, however, and will slot into the No. 6 spot in the batting older while manning right field.

Reddick (back) will not play Saturday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
This should have been expected given that Reddick exited Friday's game with what manager A.J. Hinch described as "a little bit of back pain." Hinch said Saturday would have been a scheduled day off for Reddick and downplayed the injury. The Astros will evaluate him Saturday to determine the next step

Reddick is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick started the month on a tear -- hitting .591 over his first seven September games -- but he's collected just one hit in his last three starts (10 at-bats), so he'll get the day off as Jake Marisnick draws a start in the outfield in his stead.

Reddick is not in the lineup for Game 1 against the A's on Saturday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis

Reddick reached base five times Friday, going 3-for-3 with two walks, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in a 9-8 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick has been streaking of late, going 13-for-22 (.591) with 12 RBI over the last seven games. A platoon player in recent seasons, Reddick has hit lefties well this season, posting a .318 average over 85 at-bats against southpaws. That means manager A.J. Hinch has the option to keep a hot bat in the lineup regardless of opposing pitcher.

Reddick is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick has swinging a hot bat during the first days of September (8-for-16 with eight RBI), but he'll get the night off against Ariel Miranda and the Mariners. George Springer draws the start in right field while Cameron Maybin fills in at center field.

Reddick went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick was a contributor in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader and Sunday's series finale, going 7-for-12 with six RBI and two runs scored this weekend. The Astros are down two outfielders -- Carlos Beltran (back/neck) and Jake Marisnick (groin) are dealing with injuries -- which should grant regular at-bats for Reddick in the coming days. And now is good time to deploy the 30-year-old outfielder who is hitting .465 (20-for-43) with 13 RBI over the last 11 games.

Reddick is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick is in the midst of a modest six-game hitting streak, going 12-for-23 (.522) with just one strikeout over that span, but he'll get the day off against southpaw Martin Perez after starting nine straight contests in the outfield. George Springer will slide over to right field in his stead, opening up a spot for Jake Marisnick to start in center.

Reddick went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick's three-hit day also featured some miscues, as he committed his fifth error in the field and was thrown out trying to stretch one of his three singles into a double. Only two of Reddick's 16 hits over the past 10 games have gone for extra bases, yet batting in the heart of Houston's dangerous lineup has still allowed him to rack up six runs and 10 RBI in that span.
