22 Josh Reddick RF

Reddick is not starting Tuesday against lefty Danny Duffy and the Royals, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Reddick has gotten the call against just two of the nine lefties the Astros have faced this season. As usual, George Springer slides over to right field, with Jake Marisnick starting in center.

Reddick is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Reddick will take a seat Wednesday as the Astros stack right-handed hitters against southpaw Martin Perez. George Springer is starting in right field in his stead, with Jake Marisnick getting a start in center.

Reddick went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 11-0 win over the Twins.

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.

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-4 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-10 loss to Texas.

Reddick has enjoyed a strong start to his 2019 campaign, slashing .339/.381/.458 in 63 plate appearances. However, he has just three extra-base hits and three RBI so far.
