Angels' Luis Valbuena: Out 4-6 weeks with hamstring strain

Valbuena was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and will be out for 4-6 weeks.

Analysis:

Valbuena was lifted from a Cactus League game earlier in the week with hamstring tightness, and a recent MRI revealed he'll be forced to start the season on the DL with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain. With the 31-year-old out for the beginning of the season, C.J. Cron will likely be named Angels' starting first baseman, while Jefry Marte could sneak onto the roster after all.
