Ian Kinsler (groin) is not in the Angels' lineup on Opening Day
Los Angeles Angels second baseman Ian Kinsler (groin) is out of the lineup for Opening Day against the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
Kinsler is dealing with some groin tightness, so it isn't surprising that he'll be held out on Thursday. Zach Cozart will get the start at second and bat leadoff. Shohei Ohtani is also making his MLB debut at DH batting eighth.
For the season, numberFire's models project Kinsler to bat .246 with 17 home runs, 58 RBI, 76 runs, and 13 steals in 609 plate appearances this season.
