Reddick is out of the lineup for Sunday's affair with the Mariners, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Ariel Miranda toeing the rubber against the Astros on Sunday, the team will give Reddick the day off in favor of Norichika Aoki. Reddick has played well since returning from the concussion DL on Tuesday, going 8-for-17 with two home runs, three RBI and seven runs this week.

Reddick went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick's hit safely in all four games since coming off the concussion list, going 8-for-17 with six extra-base hits (two homers), seven runs and three RBI. He tends to get lost amid Houston's lineup of stars but has been a good contributor during his first season as an Astro. He's currently at career highs in batting average (.295), slugging (.493) and OPS (.845). Defensively, the Gold Glove-winning right fielder (2012) has shown some versatility, moving over to left field when needed as he did Saturday when he made two nice diving catches.

Reddick is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Athletics, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick collected two hits in his return from the disabled list, but the Astros will ease him back into action by giving him a night off with lefty Sean Manaea taking the hill for Oakland. Houston will go with an outfield alignment of George Springer, Jake Marisnick and Norichika Aoki for the evening.

Reddick (concussion) was placed on the 7-day disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction was widely expected after Reddick was diagnosed with the head injury after crashing into the outfield wall during Monday's game against the Rangers. With Reddick unavailable until at least June 20, the Astros purchased the contract of prospect Derek Fisher to provide more depth in the outfield.

Reddick could be placed on the 7-day concussion DL, the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although the team has not yet announced any roster moves, outfield prospect Derek Fisher is reportedly on his way up to join the Astros, which suggests Reddick will require a stint on the disabled list. Reddick suffered a concussion Monday after crashing into the outfield wall, but he had been holding out hope that he could return to action before the weekend.

Reddick is still going through the concussion protocol and still has a chance to return to action prior to the weekend, The Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros have been hesitant to place the former All-Star on the 7-day concussion DL since they think he still has a chance to return in the coming days. He's sitting out Tuesday's contest and could remain out a couple more days until a firm diagnosis from a doctor comes forth.

Reddick left Monday's game early with a concussion, Julia Morales of Root Sports Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
The concussion was described as mild, but we should know by now that even the most mild of concussions can be difficult to recover from. Expect Reddick to go through MLB's concussion protocol soon, with a trip to the seven-day disabled list likely coming.
