Picking more work at second base Drury will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact After serving mainly as a short-side platoon mate with Jake Lamb at first base through the first two weeks of the season, Drury closed the weekend with three consecutive starts at second base, all of which came against right-handed pitching. With another righty (Brayan Bello) on the mound Monday, Drury will continue to occupy the keystone and Lamb will start at first base, leaving no room in the infield for Luis Rengifo. With Rengifo having now sat in two of the past three games while making his lone start in left field during that span, he appears to have moved into a utility role for the time being while Drury looks to have overtaken him at second base.

Hits first homer of 2023 Drury went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in an extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.

The homer was his first of the campaign after he slugged a career-high 28 long balls last season. However, Drury also struck out three times Sunday, giving him 10 strikeouts (and no walks) through 31 plate appearances on the campaign.

Picks up start versus lefty Drury will start at first base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact After taking a seat in Saturday's 13-1 win while a right-hander (Shintaro Fujinami) was on the hill, the righty-hitting Drury will re-enter the lineup against a lefty (Ken Waldichuk). The Angels haven't formally outlined their plans for Drury, but he looks as though he could end up filling the short side of a platoon at first base with the lefty-hitting Jake Lamb while Jared Walsh (head) is on the injured list.

Sitting with sore calf Drury, who fouled a ball off his calf Friday, is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact He was expected to be in Saturday's lineup, so his absence suggests the team is either being extra careful and/or Drury's calf was hurting more than anticipated. It seems like a day-to-day situation until further notice.
