Butler (illness) will start in right field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Astros.
Butler had to miss Tuesday's game while battling a virus, but he's feeling well enough to return to action a day later. The 24-year-old is slashing .326/.364/.679 with 19 home runs and 10 stolen bases since July 1 for the Athletics.
