Luis Valbuena

Angels' Luis Valbuena not starting on Thursday

Los Angeles Angels corner infielder Luis Valbuena is out of the lineup on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Valbuena is sitting with a lefty on the mound as usual. Shohei Ohtani will man the DH spot on Thursday, so Albert Pujols is starting at first base.

For the rest of the season, numberFire projects Valbuena to hit .192 with 31 runs, 15 home runs, and 43 RBIs.
