Los Angeles Angels infielder Jefry Marte is not starting on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals.
Marte has gone 1-for-12 (.083) since being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake last Thursday. Luis Valbuena will replace him at third base on Wednesday and bat sixth versus Nationals right-hander Tanner Roark.
numberFire's models project Marte to record a .209 batting average in 49 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
