Not starting Saturday Drury (shoulder) isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against Arizona, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Drury injured his shoulder on a dive during Thursday's loss to the White Sox, and he'll now miss his second consecutive start as a result. Drury's absence opens a spot at second base for Luis Rengifo to start and bat eighth.

Nursing shoulder issue Drury was held out of Friday's game against Arizona due to a "tweaked" shoulder, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Drury reportedly hurt his shoulder on a dive during Thursday's loss to the White Sox, though the issue is considered minor. The infielder enjoyed a strong June, slashing .337/.377/.531 with five homers, 18 RBI and 12 runs over 24 games, and he's typically filled an important lineup slot immediately behind either Shohei Ohtani or Mike Trout, though that could change now that Anthony Rendon is back from the injured list. Drury is considered day-to-day and could be back in the lineup this weekend.

Sitting Friday Drury is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Drury will get a breather after he went 5-for-15 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored while starting all four games of the Angels' series with the White Sox. Eduardo Escobar will take over at second base and bat seventh in the series opener against Arizona.

Homers in three-hit effort Drury went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 11-5 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Each of Drury's three hits drove in a run Wednesday, including his seventh-inning solo shot. The infielder has been locked in at the plate in June, batting .344 (32-for-93) over 23 games this month. His extended run of production has him up to a .278/.325/.505 slash line with 14 homers, 45 RBI, 35 runs scored, 17 doubles and two triples over 74 contests. He's 0-for-2 on stolen-base attempts this year. Drury appears to have taken over the starting role at second base for the Angels after their recent infield reshuffling following trades for Eduardo Escobar and Mike Moustakas last week.

Smacks homer in three-hit effort Drury went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 25-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact Drury hit the second of three consecutive homers for the Angels in the third inning and added three more RBI by the end of the fourth. The infielder has seven multi-hit efforts in his last 11 games, batting .354 (17-for-48) over that span. He's maintained a strong .273/.318/.500 slash line with 13 homers, 41 RBI, 34 runs scored, 17 doubles and two triples over 70 contests this season. The Angels acquired Mike Moustakas from the Rockies after the game, a signal that Drury may have competition for playing time at first base, though he could also shift over to second full-time in favor of the slumping Luis Rengifo, who had been playing third base recently prior to Friday's trade for Eduardo Escobar.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits two home runs in loss Drury went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and solo home run in Saturday's 10-9 loss to the Royals.

Impact Coming into the contest, Drury hadn't hit a home run since June 1, but he notched his second multi-homer game of the season Saturday. The slugger struggled to start the year, slashing just .179/.208/.269 over his first 20 appearances, but he's been red hot since then, totaling 11 home runs, 14 doubles, two triples, 31 RBI and 24 runs scored over his last 44 games.
