Red Sox take on Angels without Travis Shaw
Boston Red Sox infielder Travis Shaw is not in the starting lineup for Friday night's tilt against Tim Lincecum and the Los Angeles Angels.
Nothing more than a scheduled day of maintenance for Shaw. Aaron Hill, who owns a .500 career batting average (11-for-22) versus Lincecum, will hit seventh and man third for Boston.
Shaw is hitting .266/.327/.462 with a .334 wOBA in 376 plate appearances this season, displaying a slight regression from last year's numbers. He's added 12 home runs and 55 RBI's, while his 0.65 nERD ranks 114th in the majors.
