Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Guillorme (back) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the hosting Oakland A's.

Amed Rosario On The Bench Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays utility player Amed Rosario is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the visiting Washington Nationals and right-hander Jake Irvin.
