Los Angeles Angels shortstop Erick Aybar is not in the lineup for the third consecutive game Saturday because of a back injury, but he does not believe he will be placed on the 15-day disabled list, according to the Los Angeles Times. Aybar was able to take fielding practice Saturday, and though he has not yet been able to hit, the organization has maintained that the injury is mild. His .646 OPS this season is his worst mark since 2010, but manager Mike Scioscia said that Aybar remains a very valuable part of the lineup. “It’s an eye-opener for some people when a person like Erick is not there, because a lot of people take him for granted,” Scioscia said. “Not us. He’s part of the heartbeat of this team. He plays every game, every inning, and he plays at a high level. He can do so many things on the field that help you win games. A big piece of our lineup is missing.”
