Christian Walker is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the White Sox.

It looks to be just a routine day of rest for the 35-year-old slugger. LaMonte Wade Jr. will start in his place at first base and will bat fifth against White Sox’ right-hander Erick Fedde on Sunday afternoon at Rate Field in Chicago.

Christian Walker (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins.

LaMonte Wade Jr. gets the nod at first base with Walker sitting for the second straight contest due to right hip tightness. The fact that he’s managed to avoid the injured list is an encouraging development. He’s presumably day-to-day for now.

Christian Walker (hip) was held out of the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Orioles.

Walker made an early exit from Saturday’s game after sustaining the injury while swinging the bat. He was able to participate in drills on the field prior to Sunday’s game though and isn’t expected to require a trip to the injured list, so he’s considered day-to-day. LaMonte Wade Jr. will start in his place at first base and bat cleanup for the Astros on Sunday.

LaMonte Wade Jr. went 1-for-4 with a grand slam against the Rangers on Saturday.

Wade’s home run was his second of the season. He hit a grand slam off Kumar Rocker in the third inning. Wade is a strong-side platoon option for the Astros in right field. That gives him some value in AL-Only leagues.

Wade returns to Houston’s corner outfield mix following a nearly one-month absence recovering from a right hamstring strain.

Astros placed OF Lamonte Wade Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

Wade made an immediate impact on the Astros, going 4-for-12 with a home run in his first four games with the team before injurint his hamstring while running the bases. He will likely miss a few weeks and could return to a regular role in the outfield provided the Astros don’t trade for another hitter between now and his return.

LaMonte Wade Jr. was removed from Monday’s game against the Angels with right hamstring soreness.

Wade suffered the apparent injury while legging out a run-scoring double in the sixth inning and left the field with a trainer. He finished 1-for-2 with an RBI and one walk. The 32-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Astros last week and was playing in just his fourth game with the club. There should be an update on his status after the contest.
