Maybin (knee) wasn't in Friday's starting lineup after he experienced stiffness in the same knee he sprained in July, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels had been limiting 30-year-old's playing time since his activation from the disabled list July 7, but his absence from the starting lineup in two consecutive games brings cause for concern. There is no report of a serious injury or an upcoming MRI, but the fact that Maybin's primary asset is his ability to rack up steals (25 stolen bases this season), a lingering knee injury could severely diminish his fantasy value.

Maybin is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin returned from a knee injury earlier this month, and with the Angels playing a day game after a night game, manager Mike Scioscia decided it was an optimal time to rest the leadoff man. Ben Revere will swap in for Maybin in left field and serve as the team's table setter Wednesday.

Maybin is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This marks his second absence in six games since he was activated from the DL. The Angels could continue with this two-on, one-off plan with Maybin, or something close to it, until they have complete confidence in his knee again. Ben Revere's hot bat affords them the option to be extra cautious.

Maybin is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin returned from the 10-day DL earlier this week after missing 16 games with a knee injury and has gone 1-for-8 in his first two games back, so he'll receive a routine day off Wednesday. Cesar Puello, called up by the Angels earlier in the day, will take over left field in his stead.

Maybin (knee) was activated from the 10-day disabled list and is starting in left field Monday against the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin was able to get through a pair of rehab games with Triple-A Salt Lake over the weekend, clearing the way for him to return to the big club ahead of Monday's series opener. The 30-year-old was slashing .238/.342/.368 with 25 stolen bases before getting injured, and he should immediately reclaim his role as the Angels' everyday left fielder and table setter. Shane Robinson was designated for assignment to make room.

Maybin (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake City on Friday, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin will likely compete in minor-league rehab games on Friday and Saturday before making his return to the big leagues on Monday when the Angels open up a three-game home series against the Orioles. He'll slot back into his everyday role in left field upon his return.

Maybin (knee) could begin his minor-league rehab assignment in the next couple of days, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin has been on the disabled list since July 19 with a sprained MCL, but he reported feeling "great" on Tuesday and is expected to go out on his rehab assignment very soon. If all goes according to plan, it appears that the left fielder could make his return to the Angels' outfield in about a week or so.

Maybin (knee) was placed on the 10-day DL on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin left Tuesday's game with a Grade 1 sprain of his right MCL, which will keep him out of the lineup for two-to-four weeks. The Angels officially put the outfielder on the shelf prior to Wednesday's game against the Nationals while recalling Shane Peterson from Triple-A Salt Lake to start in right field in his place. Moving forward, Ben Revere will likely get a majority of the starts while Maybin is out.
