Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (hamstring) left Wednesday night's 6-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field early with left-hamstring tightness in the fifth inning. Before departing the contest prematurely, Drury went 1-for-2. He was replaced at second base by Jack Lopez. It's unclear if Drury's hamstring injury is serious enough to keep him out for most of the rest of the regular season, but for now we'll consider him day-to-day until we know more. If it's not serious, he could be back in action for Friday's series opener at home against the division-rival Houston Astros. If Drury misses time, Michael Stefanic is the likeliest candidate to see more playing time at the keystone in Anaheim. The 32-year-old Drury has been awful in his second season with the Angels and has missed time with injury, hitting just .167/.245/.229 with four homers and 15 RBI in 87 games.
Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Drury has been awful with the bat since the All-Star break. He's hitting .127 with four RBI since the break, so it's not shocking to see him sitting for a second straight game. As a result, Michael Stefanic will cover second base and bat ninth versus right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach. He's hitless over his last three games, but Stefanic is sporting a .281 batting average with five RBI in 20 games with the Halos this season. He won't be a great streaming option for Friday's slate.
Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury is not in the starting lineup for Saturday afternoon's contest against the hosting Oakland A's. The veteran started at second base and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. In short, it's been a disastrous 2024 season for the 31-year-old at the dish. Drury is hitting just .167 with one homer and a .446 OPS across an injury-shortened 46 games, production that grades out 72% below the league average, as per his 28 wRC+. The significant downturn in production comes on the heels of hitting 54 homers with 170 RBI over his last two seasons, solidifying himself as a quality middle infield option for fantasy managers in the process. It's safe to say Drury has played himself well off the fantasy radar in 2024.
