Cozart isn't in Thursday's starting lineup as he continues to deal with forearm tightness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart was a late scratch from Wednesday's tilt, and he'll get another day to recover Thursday. The severity of his injury remains unknown, so he'll continue to be listed as day-to-day until more information becomes available. Jefry Marte figures to take over at third base until Cozart returns to health.

Cozart was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Tigers due to left forearm tightness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefry Marte entered the lineup as a result of Cozart's late removal. He should be considered day-to-day until the severity of his injury is determined.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what prompted Cozart's removal from the lineup at this point. Jefry Marte entered the starting nine as a result, while Cozart should be considered day-to-day.

Cozart will start at third base and lead off Sunday against the Yankees, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Ian Kinsler receiving Saturday's game off, Cozart manned the leadoff spot in successful fashion, going 2-for-5 with three runs. Kinsler is back in the starting nine Sunday, but his 2-for-30 showing at the plate over his past eight games looks like it may result in him forfeiting the table-setting role to Cozart on at least a short-term basis. Cozart has underwhelmed on the whole this season with a .307 on-base percentage, but that's still a substantial upgrade from Kinsler's own .255 mark.

Cozart went 2-for-5 with a trio of runs scored in Saturday's 11-4 victory over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Ian Kinsler got the night off, so Cozart moved to second base and back up to the leadoff spot. The 32-year-old has been batting lower in the order recently, but his strong performance coupled with Kinsler's offensive struggles could persuade manager Mike Scioscia to swap the two yet again. Cozart has scored 26 runs this year, which ranks eighth amongst all third basemen.

Cozart is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart has appeared in each of the last seven games, batting .238 with one extra-base hit and two RBI. Luis Valbuena will take his place at third and is set to bat seventh in Thursday's series finale.

Cozart batted seventh and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart had taken over for the struggling Ian Kinsler as the club's leadoff hitter over the last couple of weeks, but he was moved back down in the order over the last two contests. Neither infielder has had much success at the plate of late, so this may simply be manager Mike Scioscia shaking things up for an Angels club that has struggled to put up big offensive numbers recently.

Cozart led off and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's 7-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart was demoted to sixth in the order Wednesday, but he resumed his recent role as the Halos' leadoff hitter Thursday. Both games were against right-handed starters, so this doesn't appear to be a platoon lineup configuration. The veteran infielder is slashing an undesirable .224/.291/.410 through 38 games, but he could build on his 20 runs scored if he sticks atop the lineup.

Cozart is starting but at third base and hitting sixth Wednesday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart has spent most of the season hitting atop the order for the Angels, but his mediocre .247/.316/.459 slash line across 95 plate appearances as the leadoff man has prompted manager Mike Scioscia to turn to Mike Trout as his tablesetter while dropping Cozart down to sixth in the order. He's occupied the sixth spot in the order 11 times this season, compiling a .279/.326/.512 slash line across those games. While he may score fewer runs if he sticks in the six-hole, Cozart could also see a corresponding uptick in RBI opportunities as a result.

Cozart is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Astros, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart will get the night off after starting 18 straight games as the Angels look to stack left-handed hitters against righty Gerrit Cole. In his place, Luis Valbuena will start at third base and hit sixth.
