Luis Valbuena

Luis Valbuena is not in the Angels' lineup Friday

Los Angeles Angels first/third baseman Luis Valbuena is out of the lineup on Friday.

What It Means:

Valbuena will get the day off as C.J. Cron starts at first and Yunel Escobar returns to the lineup at third base Friday night versus the Toronto Blue Jays.

Valbuena is projected for a .238 batting average with 5 home runs and 34 strikeouts in 140 plate appearances the rest of the season, by our models.
