Howie Kendrick went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Angels loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. Kendrick's ninth bomb of the season was his first in 40 games, while the extra-base hit was just his seventh in 26 contests since the All-Star break. He's a poor option in shallower mixed leagues right now.
