The Los Angeles Angels will try to piece together another starting lineup when they open a three-game series against the host Atlanta Braves on Monday night.
Los Angeles is without three-time American League MVP Mike Trout (fractured left hamate bone), fellow outfielder Taylor Ward (facial fractures) and infielders Anthony Rendon (bruised left leg), Zach Neto (back) and Brandon Drury (left shoulder contusion).
The Angels have still managed to win 10 of 15 games since the All-Star break to stay in the hunt for a wild-card berth, but they'll be up against an Atlanta team that's coming off a three-game sweep of the visiting Milwaukee Brewers.
