Valbuena is not in the lineup Wednesday against Washington, The Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena will get the day off while left-hander Gio Gonzalez takes the mound for the Nats. C.J. Cron takes his place at first base, while batting fourth in the order.

Valbuena clubbed a pair of home runs in four at-bats against the Rays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Eight long balls in 58 games would put the veteran first baseman on pace to possibly reach the 20-homer mark for just the second time in his career. That said, Valbuena's solid power isn't enough to overcome his abysmal .188 batting average this season, keeping him off the radar in the majority of fantasy formats.

Valbuena is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena will get the day off after starting the past five games at first base. With left-hander Cole Hamels on the mound for Texas, the team will put C.J. Cron at first while giving Valbuena time to rest. He will likely be back in the lineup for Saturday's game against right-hander Tyson Ross.

Valbuena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena has only received semi-regular at-bats for the majority of the season and has done little when provided a chance. His .191/.279/.331 slash line, six homers, 22 RBI and 18 runs aren't moving the fantasy needle in most settings. It is worth noting that with C.J. Cron's recent demotion to the minors, Valbuena stands to see more playing time in the immediate future.

Valbuena is not in the lineup Friday against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena is not in the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

With one of the toughest lefties in the game (Clayton Kershaw) toeing the rubber for the Dodgers, Valbuena will head to the bench. His platoon partner, Jefry Marte, will take over at first base in his stead.

Valbuena is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

As usual, Valbuena will retreat to the bench with a left-handed pitcher (Hyun-Jin Ryu) toeing the rubber for the Dodgers. Jefry Marte will start at first base in his stead.

Valbuena is not in the lineup Monday against the Dodgers, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena will retreat to the bench with the Dodgers sending southpaw Rich Hill to the mound. The 31-year-old is batting just .083 (1-for-12) against left-handed pitching this season, so the Angels will continue to play matchups with him moving forward. Albert Pujols will start at first place in his place.

Valbuena is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

As usual, Valbuena will hit the bench with the opposition bringing a left-hander (Jordan Montgomery) to the hill. C.J. Cron swaps in for Valbuena at first base, batting seventh.

Valbuena is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis
