Altuve (side) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve was removed from Wednesday's 5-4 loss due to discomfort in his right side. He and the Astros are downplaying the injury and manager Joe Espada said the infielder is "better" Thursday, but it's not a surprise he'll miss at least one game. Mauricio Dubon will handle second base Thursday while Altuve rests.
