Luis Valbuena out of lineup for Angels on Friday night
Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Valbuena is not starting on Friday against the Oakland Athletics.
Yunel Escobar (back) is back on third base for the Angels while C.J. Cron will draw the nod at first, sending Valbuena to the pine after four consecutive starts -- a span in which he went only 1-for-13 (.077).
numberFire's models project Valbuena to turn in a .236 batting average with 5 home runs, 15 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 126 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
