Esteury Ruiz Absent From The Lineup On Saturday
1 year agoOakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. Ruiz once again finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starter as the Halos are rolling with Griffin Canning in this one. Ruiz had a big hand in the A's drubbing of the Angels on Friday, when he swatted a double and a home run to go along with two runs scored and swiped a bag. He's also slashing .462/.533/.846 with five stolen bases over the last seven games (13 at-bats). Overall, he's struggled since being activated from the injured list back on August 5, though, so Oakland will continue to bench him against right-handers. The speedy 24-year-old is slashing .251/.307/.338 with three home runs, 40 RBI, and 54 stolen bases over 391 at-bats. Tony Kemp, Lawrence Butler, and Seth Brown are making up Oakland's outfield on Saturday.
