Esteury Ruiz Absent From The Lineup On Saturday
Esteury Ruiz is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. Ruiz once again finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starter as the Halos are rolling with Griffin Canning in this one. Ruiz had a big hand in the A's drubbing of the Angels on Friday, when he swatted a double and a home run to go along with two runs scored and swiped a bag. He's also slashing .462/.533/.846 with five stolen bases over the last seven games (13 at-bats). Overall, he's struggled since being activated from the injured list back on August 5, though, so Oakland will continue to bench him against right-handers. The speedy 24-year-old is slashing .251/.307/.338 with three home runs, 40 RBI, and 54 stolen bases over 391 at-bats. Tony Kemp, Lawrence Butler, and Seth Brown are making up Oakland's outfield on Saturday.
