Receives rare day off Fletcher is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Fletcher will head to the bench for the first time since June 18, a stretch of 81 consecutive starts. He has a .363 OPS through 18 games in September, so it's likely a good time for a reset. Kean Wong will cover the keystone in his place Wednesday.

Bumped down in order Fletcher is batting second in the order for the third straight game Saturday.
Impact Prior to Thursday, Fletcher had slotted into the leadoff spot for 15 straight games. However, he batted a paltry .167 with one RBI during that stretch, which is likely behind the team's decision to move him down a spot. Brandon Marsh is leading off for the Angels for a third straight contest.

Tacks on another steal Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base Friday in a 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact Fletcher opened the Angels' half of the first inning with a single, moved to second on a groundout, stole third base and subsequently scored on a Phil Gosselin base knock. He later notched another single to finish with his second straight multi-hit game. Fletcher's .292 average on the campaign is almost 30 points lower than last season's .319 mark, but he has added to his fantasy value by emerging as a legitimate stolen-base threat, racking up 14 thefts in 16 attempts to rank within the top 15 in the American League.
