On bench against LHP
Loperfido isn't part of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

Starts in left field, bats fifth
Loperfido will start in left field and bat fifth in Thursday's opener against the Angels.
Analysis
Loperfido beat out Zach Cole for the Astros' left-field job, and he's occupying a favorable spot in the batting order versus right-hander Jose Soriano. The 26-year-old Loperfido has an intriguing power/speed skill set but will have to make enough contact to keep a regular job. He has a 33.3 percent strikeout rate in his first 122 major-league games.
