Martin Maldonado absent for Astros Thursday afternoon
Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Lucas Giolito and the Chicago White Sox.

Christian Vazquez will catch for Luis Garcia and hit eighth. Maldonado started four of the past five games.
Vazquez has a $2,200 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros’ implied total (4.19) is No. 8 out of 22 teams today.
