Mike Trout (wrist) out, David DeJesus leading off in Angels debut
David DeJesus is leading off and playing center field as a result of Mike Trout's absence from the starting lineup.
Trout's wrist injury is not expected to force him to the disabled list. Trout has a 4.76 nERD, which puts him as the third best batter in baseball. Trout's absence leaves the Angels with just two above-average bats (based on nERD - David DeJesus has a -0.03 nERD) in their everyday lineup in Albert Pujols and Kole Calhoun. Tonight, the Angels face Astros rookie Lance McCullers, who has a 2.60 ERA but a 3.50 xFIP, indicating that he is definitely hittable. DeJesus is hitting .263/.331/.384 with a .315 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season, so he's worth a look in daily fantasy tonight.
