Athletics' Billy Burns: Not in Thursday's lineup

Burns is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Burns will be out for the fourth time in the last seven games as the A's face Doug Fister and the Astros on Thursday. The 26-year-old had a rough month of June, and has only accumulated 18 hits since May 25. In his place, Coco Crisp will get the start at center while leading off.
