The Los Angeles Angels have added veteran infielder Niko Goodrum to their major league roster and placed infielder Ehire Adrianza on the 10-day injured list with back spasmsMAY 11, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Retreating to bench Adrianza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Adrianza had started each of the past three games at third base while going 1-for-11 with a solo home run. Even with Miguel Sano (knee) on the injured list and with Luis Rengifo (illness) out of the lineup for the second game in a row, Adrianza will cede the hot corner to Cole Tucker in the series finale.

Elects free agency Adrianza elected free agency Monday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Adrianza cleared waivers after being removed from Atlanta's 40-man roster last week and will now get an early start to free agency. The utility player missed a large chunk of the 2023 season with elbow and shoulder injuries but his versatility will be appealing to some teams, albeit probably on a minor-league deal.

Activated, loses roster spot Atlanta reinstated Adrianza (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list and designated him for assignment Monday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact With Triple-A Gwinnett's season coming to an end Sunday, Adrianza's minor-league rehab assignment simultaneously concluded. Over an 11-game stint with Gwinnett, Adrianza batted just .152, and though he's seemingly healthy again, Atlanta didn't have room for him on its roster. Atlanta will proceed with Nicky Lopez and Luke Williams as its primary utility men for the final week of the regular season.

Moves rehab to Triple-A Adrianza (elbow/shoulder) shifted his rehab assignment Tuesday from High-A Rome to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Impact Adrianza went 1-for-5 with a double and two walks during his three-game stay in the South Atlantic League and is now just one step away from returning to Atlanta's active major-league roster. The veteran utility infielder has been out since early May due to elbow and shoulder injuries.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting rehab assignment Adrianza (elbow/shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Rome on Tuesday.
Impact Adrianza has been sidelined since early May, initially going down with an elbow injury before later hurting his shoulder. He's finally game-ready now, though, and will look to rejoin Atlanta in a utility role later this month.

Moved to 60-day IL Adrianza was transferred to the 60-day injured list by Atlanta on Friday with a left shoulder strain.
Impact Adrianza had been set to return from his right elbow injury soon but evidently must have hurt his shoulder while on a rehab assignment. He now won't be eligible for activation until early July.
MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
On track for weekend return Adrianza (elbow) appears on track to be activated from the injured list this weekend, Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.
Impact Braden Shewmake was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, during a scheduled off day for Atlanta, and it looks like Adrianza's activation could be the corresponding move Friday. Out since May 5 due to right elbow inflammation, the veteran utility infielder has gone 5-for-14 (.357) with four RBI through four rehab games at High-A Rome.
MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Launching rehab assignment Adrianza will start his rehab assignment with High-A Rome on Thursday.
Impact Adrianza went on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation May 5 and he will now start the process of returning to the big leagues. With the 33-year-old eligible to be reinstated Friday, the rehab assignment will likely be a short one. Adrianza has gone hitless over 10 at-bats with Atlanta in 2023, operating as a backup option in both the infield and outfield.
MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Goes to IL with elbow injury Adrianza was placed on the 10-day injured list by Atlanta on Friday with right elbow inflammation.
Impact The move is retroactive to May 2, so Adrianza will be eligible to return when Atlanta begins a road trip on May 12. Braden Shewmake has taken his spot on the roster.
MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Officially joins big-league roster Adrianza had his contract selected by Atlanta on Thursday.
Impact The 33-year-old earned a spot on Atlanta's Opening Day roster and has now officially been added to the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Adrianza will fill a utility role and begins the season as the primary backup option at second base, shortstop and third base.

Activated by Atlanta Adrianza (quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Impact Adrianza missed the last week and a half due to a left quadriceps strain but will rejoin Atlanta after a minimal stay on the injured list. He's unlikely to see significant playing time as a utility man now that he's healthy.

Placed on injured list Adrianza was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left quadriceps strain Friday.
Impact Adrianza returned from the injured list in late August but saw minimal playing time while serving as a utility man over the last few weeks. He's dealing with a quad issue that will keep him out for at least a week and a half, and it's possible that he won't have a spot on Atlanta's active roster once he's fully healthy after Ozzie Albies (foot) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Comes off IL Atlanta reinstated Adrianza (illness) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Impact The club designated infielder Ryan Goins for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Adrianza, who should step back in as Atlanta's top utility infielder. The role is unlikely to translate to steady playing time for Adrianza, who is expected to play sparingly while Atlanta leans heavily on the likes of Dansby Swanson, Vaughn Grissom and Austin Riley in the infield as the team aims to chase down the Mets for the National League East crown.
AUGUST 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ready for rehab assignment Adrianza (illness) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Gwinnett.
Impact Since Adrianza has been on the IL for less than a week, he likely won't need more than one or two games in the minors to get comfortable at the plate and in the field. Adrianza will be eligible for activation Saturday and should replace Ryan Goins as Atlanta's top utility man once he rejoins the roster.
AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Transferred to 10-day IL Adrianza was transferred from the COVID-19 injured list to the 10-day injured list due to a viral infection Monday, retroactive to Aug. 12.
Impact Adrianza landed on the COVID-19 IL last week but will be forced to miss at least a week and a half after being diagnosed with a viral infection. Since the move was backdated, he'll be eligible to return as early as Aug. 22.
