Ronny Cedeno is starting at shortstop Wednesday against the Rangers. Marwin Gonzalez, who broke up Yu Darvish's perfect game bid on Tuesday with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, is back on the bench. Meanwhile, Matt Dominguez is back at third base while Brett Wallace plays first and Carlos Pena moves back to the DH spot. Jason Castro is also back behind the plate after serving as the DH on Tuesday.

Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow indicated Sunday that Ronny Cedeno will be the club's starting shortstop. Marwin Gonzalez will also see plenty of time at short, but it will be Cedeno that receives the bulk of the playing time. Tyler Greene will not make the Opening Day roster and the club will look to trade him since he's out of options. Cedeno was released by the Cardinals last week, but it didn't take him long to find a job and he lands in a spot where he'll see more playing time.
