Updating a previous report, Giavotella was a late addition to Sunday's lineup against the Mariners, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register.
The Angels scratched Yunel Escobar (knee) following warmups, allowing Giavotella to enter the lineup at second base and bat eighth in the order. Gregorio Petit, who was originally set to start at the keystone, will move over to third base in place of Escobar.
