Los Angeles Angels infielder Danny Espinosa is not in Thursday's starting lineup.
Espinosa is hitting well below the Mendoza line, at an awful .147 for the season. He's losing playing time simply for being pretty darn terrible. Cliff Pennington is in the lineup on Thursday.
Our models project Espinosa to hit .213 with 9 home runs, 31 runs, 31 RBI, and 5 stolen bases in 280 more plate appearances in 2017.
