Thaiss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss will be sitting due to a lefty (David Price) being on the bump for Boston, but the rookie doesn't look like he's a safe bet to play regularly versus righties anymore, either. He'll be on the bench for the fifth time in six games and looks to have effectively lost out to fellow infielder Luis Rengifo for a spot in Los Angeles' everyday lineup.

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 2-for-8 with a double while starting the first two games of the series, the lefty-hitting Thaiss will take a seat for the finale with southpaw Framber Valdez on the bump for Houston. David Fletcher will slide over to third base while Thaiss sits, opening up the keystone for Luis Rengifo.
