Reddick went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick had two plate appearances in the first inning. On the first, he got aboard with a single and scored on a Yordan Alvarez homer. Reddick's second turn through the order produced the Astros' eighth run of the game, as his double scored Martin Maldonado. In the seventh, Kyle Tucker shifted over to Reddick's right field position when Garrett Stubbs entered as a defensive replacement. The three-hit effort raised Reddick's batting average to .309, and he's produced a homer, seven RBI and eight runs scored in 19 contests.

Reddick is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick will sit for the first time all season with left-hander Robbie Ray starting for the opposition. Through 10 appearances, Reddick is 9-for-37 with a home run and a 5:5 BB:K. Myles Straw is starting in the outfield in place of Reddick on Wednesday.

Reddick went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick launched his first homer of the season and ignited a three-run, ninth-inning rally. He's hit safely in six of eight games with five extra-base hits. For now, he's done enough to hold onto the starting right-field job, but prospect Kyle Tucker looms as a potential replacement should Reddick hit a slump.

Reddick went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 8-5 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick has started all four games thus far and hit safely in all four. Prospect Kyle Tucker is on the active roster, but manager Dusty Baker wants Reddick starting in right field. That will be the case unless Reddick hits a slump.

Reddick is expected to be the starter in right field to open the 2020 season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick was heading that way during spring training and remains the leading candidate to start, holding off rookie Kyle Tucker. "The future is probably Tucker's, but the now is probably Reddick's," Houston manager Dusty Baker said. The future will come as soon as 2021 as Reddick is in the final year of a four-year contract in 2020.

Reddick is the projected starter in right field, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick appears to have held onto the job that's been his the past three years in Houston, but his hold will be subject to change. Prospect Kyle Tucker could wrest the job from Reddick, if the veteran fails to hit consistently, and playing time between the two will be fluid throughout the season. The 33-year-old Reddick, who had just one hit in 20 spring at-bats, will not have the luxury of slumps like that once the regular season kicks off.

Reddick could make his spring debut as early as this weekend, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick is all healed up from offseason shoulder surgery. He's expected to open the season as the starting right fielder, but prospect Kyle Tucker could eventually push him aside.

President of baseball operations Jeff Luhnow said Wednesday that Reddick (shoulder) will enter spring training 100 percent healthy and face no restrictions, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick underwent arthroscopic surgery on the AC joint in his left shoulder in late November, but it doesn't appear the procedure will impact his availability for 2020. The 32-year-old is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he posted a .275/.319/.409 slash line with 14 home runs, 56 RBI and five stolen bases in 141 games.

Reddick underwent an arthroscopic procedure on the AC joint in his left shoulder Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick didn't spend any time on the injured list in 2019, so it's not clear if the issue bugged him during the season. He's expected to be ready to go for the start of spring training, though his status will be worth checking on as that time approaches.

Reddick is not in the lineup for a second consecutive game as the Astros take on the Nationals in Game 6 of the World Series on Sunday night, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reddick will sit once again as the veteran right fielder has struggled mightily in this series, going 1-for-9 in the first three games. The Astros will instead go with Michael Brantley in right field and Yordan Alvarez in left.
