Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick went 3-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday versus the Royals.

It's a shame Kendrick is batting sixth for the Angels, because it's not giving him many RBI opportunities, particularly with Josh Hamilton off to such a rough start. Kendrick is batting .294 with a surprising six homers, but it's resulted in a modest 18 RBI and 13 runs scored to date.

Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick went 3-for-4 with a homer Wednesday versus the A's.

The homer gave him his lone RBI. He should have had another one, but Josh Hamilton was thrown out at third before a trotting Mark Trumbo crossed home plate, ending the eighth inning.

Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick's second homer of the game was a walkoff blast in the 11th as the Angels beat the Rangers 5-4 on Tuesday.

Kendrick previously had a two-run homer and an RBI single off Alexi Ogando. The homers were just his second and third of the season, but he's batting .297. He's also played excellent defense second base, so he's probably been the Angels' best player so far.

Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick has hit safely in four straight games.

Kendrick is hitting .275 (19-for-69) with one home run, 10 RBI and two stolen bases in 18 games. Even though Alberto Callaspo and Erick Aybar are both sidelined and Mike Trout has been moved down in the order, he has batted sixth in every game this season. Kendrick's 18 homers in 2011 were likely an outlier, but he still has the potential to be a top-12 second baseman in mixed fantasy leagues.

Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick extended his hit streak to 13 games Sunday against the Padres.

Kendrick finished 2-for-3 with a double, triple, and a run scored. The 29-year-old second baseman is now batting .513 (20-for-39) with a 1.361 OPS this spring and should remain a strong fantasy option in 2013.

Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick went 3-for-3 with a homer and two RBI in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.

He crossed the plate three times on the afternoon. The Angels' second baseman now has four hits in his first six trips to the dish this spring. He'll be a strong fantasy option again in 2013.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia revealed Monday that Howie Kendrick underwent elbow surgery in October.

It was a minor procedure and Kendrick is already fully recovered. The 29-year-old second baseman batted .287/.325/.400 with eight homers, 14 steals and 67 RBI over 594 plate appearances last season for the Halos. He should remain a strong fantasy option in 2013.

Howie Kendrick had three hits and drove in the Angels' only run in a loss to the Mariners on Tuesday.

Kendrick's RBI single came off Tom Wilhelmsen in the ninth inning. The second baseman's offensive game has taken a major step backwards from his breakout 2011 campaign, as he's hitting just .289/.326/.402 with eight homers and 67 RBI entering Wednesday's season-finale.

Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick went 4-for-4 and knocked in two runs versus the Mariners on Monday.

Kendrick has collected nine hits and eight RBI in the last four games to make his season look a little less disappointing. With a .286 average, 32 doubles, 66 RBI and 14 steals, his 2012 has been a match for his 2011 in several categories. However, he's hit just eight homers after finishing with 18 a year ago.

Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick made an early exit from Thursday's game against the Red Sox due to a sore right knee.

It doesn't sound like a serious issue, but the early exit means Kendrick's 15-game hitting streak will come to a close. He is batting .291/.331/.404 with seven homers, 10 steals and 48 RBI in 119 games this season.

Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick smashed a two-run double in the sixth inning on Friday, powering the Angels to a 2-1 victory over the Tigers in Detroit.

Kendrick finished the night 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two RBI. The critical hit came on an 0-2 pitch that caught far too much of the plate for Rick Porcello's liking, and Kendrick made him pay. While his power production has dropped off from a season ago, he's enjoying a nice all-around season, hitting .289 with seven homers, 46 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Howie Kendrick is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Indians.

It appears to be a routine day of rest. Maicer Izturis will make the start of second base Wednesday while Alberto Callaspo plays the hot corner.
