3 years agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward is not in the starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. It will be Ward's first day off since he returned from the injured list on April 16. He went 0-for-3 on Tuesday, but he still leads the league with a .371 batting average, .480 on-base percentage, .710 slugging percentage, 1.190 OPS and a 248 OPS+ through 17 games. The 28-year-old has added five home runs, 13 RBI and 16 runs scored in 75 plate appearances. Brandon Marsh will take his spot in right field and hit leadoff against Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock, while Jose Rojas draws a start in left field and will bat sixth on Wednesday. Marsh, who has two homers, 15 RBI and three stolen bases himself, will be a nice DFS asset out of the leadoff spot.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
