Maldonado is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Houston will build in an extended rest for its top catcher, as Maldonado will head to the bench following Wednesday's off day. Maldonado should check back in behind the plate for Friday's contest, but Jason Castro will catch Cristian Javier in the series opener.
