Loperfido is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
Loperfido has started in each of the Astros' last six games, going 4-for-19 with two doubles and two RBI while striking out seven times. Yordan Alvarez will shift to left field against Mets right-hander Tylor Megill, as Yainer Diaz serves as the designated hitter and Cesar Salazar starts behind the plate.
