Reddick is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick frequently sits out when opposing teams send southpaws to the mound, and that trend will continue with lefty James Paxton toeing the rubber for Seattle. George Springer will move over to right field to fill the vacancy while Jake Marisnick will hop into the lineup to round things out.

Reddick went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 10-5 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick hit third in the order once again, the fourth time in the last six games he's hit between Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa, and has gone 8-for-18 with five runs scored, one home run and 10 RBI out of the three-hole. He's been one of Houston's hottest hitters over the past few weeks, slashing .446/.469/.786/1.254 over the past 17 games.

Reddick is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick has been swinging a red hot bat over the past couple of weeks, but he'll head to the bench as the Astros close out their series against J.A. Happ and the Blue Jays. George Springer will take over in right field with Jake Marisnick drawing the start in center.

Reddick is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick frequently sits against lefties, and with Francisco Liriano taking the hill for Toronto, he'll follow the trend and hit the bench for a night off. Jake Marisnick will enter the outfield spread to fill the gap.

Reddick was switched from second to third in the batting order for the two games in Atlanta, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports. In those two games, Reddick went 5-for-11 with four runs, a home run and seven RBI.
EDGE Analysis
Manager A.J. Hinch moved Jose Altuve from third to second in order to protect leadoff batter George Springer, who in every plate appearance but his first batted behind the pitcher. That resulted in Reddick coming to the plate often with men on base as the Astros scored 26 runs in those two games. It has Hinch toying with the idea of using that batting-order configuration more frequently, not only in NL parks but AL parks, too.

Reddick went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
With George Springer and Jose Altuve getting on base seemingly at will in front of him, Reddick has seen a surge in his run production, driving in seven runs in his last two games and 16 in his last 12 to go along with a .475 batting average (19-for-40), three homers, four steals and 17 runs during that stretch.

Reddick went 3-for-6 with a grand slam and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 16-4 rout of the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
His ninth-inning shot, Reddick's ninth homer of the year, capped a 19-hit performance by the Astros offense that included 10 extra-base hits. The 30-year-old has already matched last year's totals in runs and RBI, and his .313/.363/.518 slash line is by far a career-best pace.

Reddick is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Following three straight starts in the outfield, Reddick will take a seat on the bench with southpaw Jordan Montgomery taking the bump for New York. In his place, George Springer slides over to right while Jake Marisnick mans center.

Reddick went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs during Thursday's win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder is now 14-for-27 with two homers, eight RBI and 12 runs through eight games since returning from the disabled list. He's posted a .309/.360/.504 slash line for the season and is providing serviceable counting stats in every traditional rotisserie category. Batting second in the league's high-scoring lineup is a nice fantasy boon, as well.

Reddick went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two steals and two runs against the Astros on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick isn't known for multi-steal games, but he also isn't known for hitting over .300, and yet that's exactly what he's doing. The veteran outfielder's low strikeout rate is supportive of the notion that he could maintain a solid average, and his combination of solid power and modest speed can certainly play up in the powerful Houston lineup.
