Zack Cozart Not in the Lineup Tuesday
7 years agoLos Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart is out of the lineup on Tuesday. No word of an injury has come through, so it's possible that manager Mike Scioscia is just trying to stack his lineup with as many left-handers as possible against Gerrit Cole. Regardless, Luis Valbuena will take his place at third base, batting sixth. Mike Trout slides up to the leadoff spot, with Shohei Ohtani batting second. Cozart's .299 on-base percentage is nothing special, so while he likely won't lose his job to Valbuena, it wouldn't be surprising to see him move down in the order permanently.
