Hot-hitting Reddick out of lineup with illness

MINNEAPOLIS -- Astros outfielder Josh Reddick, who is hitting .474 after starting the season hitless in his first seven at-bats, was out of the lineup Monday night against Twins right-hander Lance Lynn due to an illness. Reddick seldom sits against right-handers.

"We've had a little 24-hour bug go around our team and a number of players have had it," Astros manager AJ Hinch said. "It hasn't really come to effect the lineup yet until today, but last night when we got here, he wasn't feeling well. He reported this morning he was doing a little bit better, but not able to play.
