Juan Lagares - Two doubles inLagares (toe) went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and a run scored in a 7-1 win over Minnesota in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader.
ImpactLagares didn't start Tuesday or Wednesday while dealing with the toe injury, but he was able to patrol center field for all seven innings of the matinee game. The outfielder has a .241/.290/.414 slash line with no home runs, four RBI, five runs scored and five doubles through 31 plate appearances this year. He'll get the start again in center field and bat sixth in the nightcap. Lagares could see a near-everyday role while Mike Trout (calf) is sidelined for at least six weeks.

Taylor Ward - Adds insurance with homerWard went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 7-1 win over Minnesota in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader.
ImpactThe outfielder went deep with his third homer of the year in the fifth inning to pad the Angels' lead. Ward has added seven RBI, seven runs scored and a double across 55 plate appearances. His slash line is a poor .188/.259/.396, but the 27-year-old earned some extra job security when Mike Trout (calf) was ruled out until July.
