Angels left fielder Collin Cowgill was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup. He was replaced by Matt Joyce.
Cowgill has been bothered by a sore back and was unable to complete pregame batting practice, per MLB.com.
Also, with a lefthander facing the Angels, second baseman Johnny Giavotella is out of the lineup for just the fourth time this season.
"He's been in the air a lot the last part of this little dry spell," manager Mike Scioscia said to the Orange County Register. "His game is really line drives, hard groundballs, working counts. I don't think there's pressing. I haven't seen his demeanor change or his game change. We're looking to get our offense deeper, and he’s an important guy to lengthen our lineup."
He's replaced by Taylor Featherston.
