Kavadas isn't in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Kavadas will retreat to the dugout Friday as the lefty-throwing Yusei Kikuchi starts on the bump for Houston. Kavadas' absence will allow Charles Leblanc to serve as Los Angeles' designated hitter while batting fourth.
