Kubitza went 2-for-3 in his major league debut Wednesday against the Rays. Kubitza's success Wednesday was confined to the batter's box, as a late decision to throw to second base in the second inning led to a run crossing the plate before the final out of could be recorded, and he was thrown out trying to go from first to third on a single. David Freese (hamstring) was able to pinch-hit in the contest, which could mean that Kubitza's time in the majors will be short-lived, but there has been no word on who will start at third base against the Rays on Thursday.

Kubitza has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake and will make his major league debut Wednesday against Tampa Bay, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports. With David Freese leaving Tuesday's game with hamstring tightness, the Angels called up Kubitza on Wednesday. He'll take Freese's spot at third base and bat eighth in the order against Erasmo Ramirez. Kubitza slashed .273/.378/.452 at Triple-A Salt Lake this season and collected 21 doubles.

Kubitza is slashing .297/.360/.462 with two home runs in 203 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake. The favorable hitting conditions Kubitza has played in all season should force owners to temper their expectations for the Angels' third baseman of the future. However, the 24-year-old will probably force his way to the big leagues later this season and is poised to take over as the everyday third baseman in 2016. This is not a player who will hit for enough power to be a top-10 fantasy option at the position, but he should offer solid across-the-board production, especially if he can work his way into a favorable spot in the Angels' lineup thanks to a solid approach at the plate.
