Valbuena went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Braves on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The home run was the veteran's third in 25 games this season. He certainly has some pop in his bat, but the 31-year-old has been too much of a drag on batting average (.171) to be relied upon regularly. Valbuena will move up to the cleanup spot against righties with Mike Trout (thumb) hitting the disabled list.
