Odor is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

Odor is hitting just .151/.263/.244, and could potentially be in line for a demotion in the near future. Manager Jeff Bannister's comments in the Dallas Morning News sound ominous for Odor. "In this league, there is a level of production each player has to perform," Banister said. "We are giving him the opportunity to fight through some things. You have to allow some of that to happen, to let them work and make adjustments. This is a league that will punch you back. I don't know if he ever had to punch back in the minor leagues."
