Mike Trout will get an extended look in the No. 3 spot in the lineup. Albert Pujols' left plantar fascia, which might end his season, opened the spot for Trout, who hit third for the first time in his career Saturday. Angels manager Mike Scioscia alluded to the move's primary benefit for fantasy owners: Increased RBI opportunities. Trout's fantasy value doesn't figure to increase much by the move; batting mostly second, he saw only one fewer at-bat with runners in scoring position than Pujols, who led the team.
