Luis Valbuena

Luis Valbuena on the bench Saturday for the Angels

Los Angeles Angels third/second baseman Luis Valbuena is out of the lineup Saturday night against the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Valbuena went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts last night and would be facing a lefty tonight in Andrew Albers. The Angels decided that Cliff Pennington would be the better option tonight under the circumstances.

With 18 home runs on the year already, Valbuena is projected for 2 more dingers, 7 RBI and a .227 average the rest of the year.
