Justin Upton joining Angels' bench Thursday afternoon
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Spencer Howard and the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
Upton started the last two games but this is the third time in the last six contests that he's been held out of the lineup. Phil Gosselin is hitting cleanup in place of Upton and Jo Adell is moving over to left field. Adam Eaton is making a start in right field and hitting eighth.
numberFire’s models project Gosselin for 9.7 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary on Thursday. Adell ($2,300) is projected for 9.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Angels have an implied total of 4.5 runs. Howard is registering a 24.4 strikeout percentage with a 13.4 walk percentage this season.
