The Angels plan to give struggling third baseman Brandon Wood some time off.

Wood is in a 3-for-30 slump and is hitting .168 this season.

He wasn't in the lineup on Wednesday and may not return until Friday at the earliest.

"Yeah," manager Mike Scioscia said, when asked whether Wood could get more than one game off.

"With a young player, at times, you might have to peel him back and let him not pick up a bat for a day. Try to get rid of some of the pressing and the anxiety."
