Angels' Jake Lamb: Rejoins lineup, but losing work
Jake Lamb will start at first base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.The lefty-hitting Lamb is back in the lineup for the series finale with right-hander Brayan Bello on the hill for Boston, but the former may have lost his grip on a strong-side platoon role at first base. Lamb, who has slashed .172/.250/.207 through 32 plate appearances, was on the bench Saturday and Sunday, when the Red Sox also brought right-handers to the hill. Gio Urshela was recently moved off shortstop following the call-up of top prospect Zach Neto and looks as though he may have displaced Lamb as the Halos' preferred option at first base versus right-handed pitching. Urshela will shift over to the hot corner Monday, however, while Anthony Rendon gets a maintenance day.
