Cozart will start at third base and bat eighth Thursday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Cozart has hit either eighth or ninth in his three starts since returning from a neck injury that sidelined him for a little over two weeks. The Angels have faced left-handed starting pitchers in each of those contests, so Cozart's low placement in the order seemingly doesn't bode well for his chances of sticking in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Tommy La Stella and David Fletcher have both outperformed Cozart at the dish this season, which could prompt manager Brad Ausmus to keep both in the starting infield against righties at Cozart's expense.

Cozart (neck) returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Cozart (neck) faced live pitching Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Cozart (neck) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cozart has been dealing with a neck issue for the past week, and the Angels opted to send him to the injured list after the infielder experienced renewed discomfort Wednesday. Luis Rengifo was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move and is a candidate to see time around the infield in Cozart's absence. The move is retroactive to Wednesday, making Cozart eligible to return May 4, should he prove ready.

Cozart was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Yankees due to neck stiffness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cozart was initially slated to start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's series finale before experiencing renewed soreness in his neck. Tommy La Stella will enter the lineup in place of Cozart, who should be considered day-to-day.

Cozart (neck) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees. He will start at third and bat ninth.
EDGE Analysis
Cozart left the fist game of the series after injuring his neck on a slide Monday, but appeared off the bench as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning Tuesday. He should continue to hit near the bottom of the lineup moving forward.

Cozart (neck) entered Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees as a pinch hitter. He grounded out on two pitches in the ninth-inning at-bat to end the game.
EDGE Analysis
Cozart was withheld from the lineup after developing a neck issue in Monday's 14-inning loss, but the Angels decision to make him available off the bench offers hope that an injured-list stint won't be in play for the 33-year-old. It's unclear if Cozart will be ready to reprise his normal duties at third base Wednesday night or if he'll be limited to a bench role once again.
