Valbuena is out of the lineup Saturday against the Angels.

Analysis:

Valbuena is 2-for-2 against Saturday's starter C.J. Wilson, but manager A.J. Hinch will play the matchups rather than look at the small sample and slot Jonathan Villar in as his third baseman. Through nine games this season, Valbuena is batting .200 (7-for-35), but he does have a pair of homers already.
