AUGUST 5 • Associated Press

Looks like odd man out of lineup Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Wade will take a seat for a second straight matchup versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Shane Bieber) and appears headed for a role reduction after the Astros bolstered their outfield by acquiring Daulton Varsho from the Blue Jays on Monday. Varsho will enter the lineup right away Monday, covering center field while Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith flank him in the corner spots. Since being reinstated from the injured list July 4, Wade is batting just .167 with one home run, 10 RBI and eight runs in 20 games.

Moving to bench Sunday Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Wade had started in left field in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored between those contests. He'll exit the lineup Sunday while Yordan Alvarez receives a turn in left field, but Wade still looks to have a hold on at least a semi-regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching.

Idle Wednesday Wade isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wade will miss out on the starting nine for a second consecutive game after going just 2-for-28 since the All-Star break. Taylor Trammell, Lucas Spence and Cam Smith will form Houston's outfield trio while Wade sits.

JULY 19 • Associated Press

Riding pine against lefty Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact With southpaw Trevor Rogers on the hill for Baltimore on Saturday, Wade will be on the bench for Houston. The right-handed hitting Zach Dezenzo will take over in left field for Wade and bat eighth for the Astros.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Swats grand slam Saturday Wade went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a 9-3 victory versus the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Wade struck out twice and was subbed out on defense in the seventh inning, but he made a big impact with one swing when he clubbed a grand slam to right field in the third inning. That was the veteran outfielder's second homer in nine games in the majors this season. Since returning from an IL stint caused by a hamstring injury July 4, Wade has started all five of Houston's games against a right-handed pitcher, so he appears to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role in left field.

Idle against southpaw Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Wade will join fellow left-handed hitters Braden Shewmake and Taylor Trammell on the bench while the Astros stock up on some extra right-handed bats to counter Nationals southpaw Foster Griffin. Zach Dezenzo will replace Wade in left field and will bat eighth.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing third straight start Wade will start in left field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wade will pick up a third straight start in left field, despite going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts over the final two games of the Astros' weekend series versus the Rays. After the Astros sent Joey Loperfido back to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Wade looks like he'll have an opportunity to solidify himself as a strong-side platoon player in the Houston outfield.

JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Back from 10-day IL The Astros reinstated Wade (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Wade has fully recovered from a right hamstring strain that landed him on the 10-day IL in early June. He joined the Astros on June 4 after being released by the White Sox three days prior, and he could see some reps in the outfield after Houston optioned both Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land in corresponding moves.
