Leody Taveras News: Absent from Saturday's lineup

Taveras is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

Taveras has consistently started in right field, but this marks his second absence in the last three games. He's hitting just .121 across his last 10 contests and has a .530 OPS for the season, so he could continue to lose out on playing time. Miles Mastrobuoni will take over in right field and hit seventh.
