Astros outfielders Michael Brantley and Kyle Tucker are not in the lineup Sunday for Houston’s series finale against the host Cleveland Indians.
Brantley, 34, was scratched from Saturday’s game after experiencing right-side discomfort. Taylor Jones will replace Brantley in left field Sunday and bat eighth.
Tucker, 24, hasn’t played since being scratched from Friday’s game with back spasms. Chas McCormick will play right field and hit sixth on Sunday.
Both Brantley and Tucker are considered day to day.
Brantley and Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos entered Sunday hitting a major league-leading .340. A four-time All-Star, Brantley has five home runs and 31 RBIs in 63 games this season.
Tucker is batting .264 with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs in 73 games this year.
