Luis Valbuena on Angels' bench as they square off with Texas
Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Valbuena is not starting on Thursday against the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
It's likely a maintenance day for Valbuena, who went 2-for-4 with a home run and 4 total RBI on Wednesday. He has 10 home runs and 24 RBI now in the second half of the season. Jefry Marte will man the hot corner for the Angels and bat sixth in tonight's series finale against left-hander Martin Perez and the Rangers.
numberFire's models project Valbuena to record a .236 batting average with 3 home runs, 10 RBI, and 10 runs scored in 83 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
