On minor-league injured list Mayfield (undisclosed) was placed on the minor-league 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact It's not certain what prompted the IL move, though it should be noted that the journeyman infielder hasn't played since July 28. Mayfield had put together a modest five-game hitting streak with Triple-A Salt Lake prior to being placed on the injured list. He's slashed .186/.230/.271 with a home run, six RBI and a stolen base in 74 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Moves back to minors The Angels optioned Mayfield to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
Impact Mayfield became the odd man out for the Angels with the team needing to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for left-hander Kenny Rosenberg, who was recalled from Salt Lake to start Sunday's series finale in Seattle. During his two-day stay with the Halos, Mayfield went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.

Recalled and starting Friday Mayfield was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday and will bat ninth and play right field against the Mariners.
Impact Mayfield was optioned Friday but is back less than a week later with Anthony Rendon shut down for season-ending wrist surgery. Mayfield has hit .194/239/.284 in 22 games this season, which doesn't make a case for regular playing time, but he could start against lefties like Friday's starter Robbie Ray.

Sent down Friday Mayfield was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Impact Mayfield was recalled by the Angels on Wednesday, and he went 0-for-8 with a run and two strikeouts over two games during his stint with the big-league club. However, he'll head back to the Triple-A club after Anthony Rendon was activated Friday.

Back with big-league club Mayfield was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake and is starting at second base Wednesday against the Red Sox.
Impact The 31-year-old was demoted to Triple-A in mid-May but will rejoin the Angels on Wednesday with Luis Rengifo headed to the paternity list. Mayfield has appeared in 20 MLB games this season and has a .220/.270/.322 slash line with one home run, six RBI and one stolen base.

Sent to Triple-A Mayfield was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland.
Impact He had hit .129 with seven strikeouts and one walk in his last 31 at-bats. Matt Duffy was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Swipes first bag Mayfield went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning loss to the Rays.
Impact Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, Mayfield was able to steal his first bag of the year off the battery of Shane McClanahan and Francisco Mejia. The 31-year-old utility player has started three straight games, all in right while Taylor Ward nursed a hamstring injury, and while he will be in the middle-infield mix as long as David Fletcher (hip) is on the shelf, Mayfield faces a lot of competition from Tyler Wade, Andrew Velazquez and Luis Rengifo for at-bats.

Makes third straight start Mayfield will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact With Taylor Ward (hamstring) once again on the bench, Mayfield will pick up his third start in a row. The Angels are hopeful that Ward will be back in action after Thursday's off day, so Mayfield's run of regular playing time could soon come to an end.
MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to big club The Angels recalled Mayfield from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Though he was optioned to Salt Lake on Friday, Mayfield is eligible to rejoin the Angels on short notice after the team placed Matt Duffy on the COVID-19 injured list prior to Sunday's game against the White Sox. Mayfield should be up with the Angels for the duration of Duffy's absence, but the former is unlikely to see meaningful at-bats while all of Anthony Rendon, David Fletcher, Andrew Velazquez and Tyler Wade are ahead of him in the pecking order for playing time at second base, third base or shortstop.

Optioned to Triple-A Mayfield was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Mayfield made the Angels' Opening Day roster this year and appeared in 10 games for the big-league club. He hit .281 with a homer, a triple, a double, six runs and three RBI, but he didn't have consistent playing time and will head to the minors after David Fletcher (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Retreats to bench Mayfield is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
Impact Mayfield drew starts in the infield over the past three contests and went a collective 4-for-12 to extend his hitting streak to seven games dating back to Opening Day. Despite his solid production at the plate when called upon this season, Mayfield looks set to remain in a utility role. Third baseman Anthony Rendon is healthy again after a recent bout with an illness, and Tyler Wade and Andrew Velazquez appear to be manager Joe Maddon's preferred options in the middle infield over Mayfield.

Clubs solo homer Sunday Mayfield went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Houston on Sunday.
Impact Mayfield drove a Jose Urquidy pitch over the wall in center field in the second inning to provide the Angels' only run of the contest. The long ball was Mayfield's third straight hit to begin the campaign, though he went 0-for-3 in his remaining plate appearances. The 31-year-old was somewhat surprisingly plugged into the cleanup spot Sunday despite entering the contest with only 12 homers over 401 career big-league at-bats.

Hitting fourth Mayfield is starting at third base and hitting fourth Sunday against the Astros, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Swipes two bags Sunday Mayfield went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's 7-3 victory versus the Mariners.
Impact Mayfield was one of three Angels to knock multiple hits in the season finale, and he plated the team's second run with an infield single in the first inning. The 31-year-old began the campaign in the minors and was DFA'd by both the Angels and Mariners during the season. However, he became a bright spot for Los Angeles after he latched back on with the club in mid-June, eventually claiming a role as the club's starting third baseman. Mayfield collected at least one hit in 11 of his final 12 contests, slashing .280/.315/.400 with a home run, 11 RBI and three stolen bases over that stretch.

Two doubles, two RBI Mayfield went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Astros.
Impact Mayfield has now hit safely in three games in a row, and this was the first time he recorded two extra-base hits on the same game in the entire campaign. The shortstop hasn't been much of a threat at the plate of late, though, hitting .200 with a .639 OPS across 20 games this month.

Impact Mayfield went deep off Jose Urquidy in the second inning to put the Angels on the board. In addition, he walked in the sixth frame. It is just the second time he got on base twice in his last nine games. The 30-year-old is slashing .211/.277/.432 with 10 long balls, 26 RBI and 25 runs scored in 240 plate appearances this season.
