Altuve (illness) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Brewers.
After exiting Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Brewers early due to an illness, Altuve will remain on the bench Wednesday in Milwaukee. The Astros have a day off Thursday, so Altuve will have an extra day to rest up ahead of Houston's three-game series with Oakland starting Friday. Mauricio Dubon will draw the start at second base and bat leadoff in the series finale with the Brewers.
