MLB 2026 Buzz: Juan Soto Fouls Ball Off Foot, Undergoes X-Rays

Zach Neto - Slugs seventh homer Neto went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Guardians.

Impact The shortstop took Parker Messick deep in the fifth inning to account for all of the Angels' offense on the afternoon. Neto has hit safely in seven of the last eight games, going 9-for-31 (.290) over that stretch with four extra-base hits, five RBI and six runs. The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .224/.330/.408 with seven homers, seven steals, 20 RBI and 29 runs in 44 contests.

Reid Detmers - Fans six in Wednesday's loss Detmers (1-4) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings as the Angels were downed 4-2 by the Guardians. He struck out s...

Impact A leadoff homer by Angel Martinez set the tone, but it was Detmers' inability to control Cleveland's running game with Sebastian Rivero behind the plate that proved just as costly -- the Guardians went 5-for-5 on steal attempts against the battery, with Martinez and Jose Ramirez each swiping two. Detmers was lifted after 102 pitches (60 strikes), and he'll take a 4.38 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 53:17 K:BB through 49.1 innings into his next start, which is set to come at home early next week against the A's.

Grayson Rodriguez - Candidate to start Sunday Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said Wednesday that Rodriguez (shoulder) is a candidate to start Sunday's game versus the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Impact Rodriguez pitched well in a rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, striking out 11 over 4.2 innings while yielding two runs. He got his pitch count up to 94 in the outing, so the righty is sufficiently stretched out. Rodriguez has been out all season with right shoulder inflammation and has not made an appearance at the major-league level since 2024 due to multiple arm injuries. He was acquired from the Orioles in November in exchange for Taylor Ward.

Vaughn Grissom - Elevated to leadoff spot Grissom will start at first base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.

Impact Zach Neto -- who batted leadoff in each of the Angels' first 43 games this season -- has been slumping and will bat sixth Wednesday. Grissom hit his second home run of the season in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland and sports a .922 OPS over his last five contests. It seems unlikely that the Angels would move Neto down five spots in the batting order for just one game, so Grissom could get a chance to stake claim of the leadoff spot while Neto tries to snap out of his funk.

Zach Neto - Dropped to sixth in lineup Neto will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Neto batted leadoff in each of the Angels' first 43 contests this season, but he's being moved down to the No. 6 spot after slashing .181/.274/.289 with a 34.7 percent strikeout rate across his last 95 plate appearances. Vaughn Grissom is getting a turn at the top of the Angels' batting order Wednesday.

Drew Pomeranz - Headed to injured list Pomeranz will go on the injured list Wednesday due to elbow inflammation.

Impact Pomeranz appeared in relief for an inning in yesterday's ball game against Cleveland leading to discomfort in his elbow. The 37-year-old recorded 17 appearances with a rocky 7.20 ERA. Ryan Johnson will be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake as the corresponding move.

Ryan Johnson - Activated from injured list The Angels activated Johnson (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Johnson landed on the IL back in early April due to a viral infection but was more recently bothered by a hamstring issue. The righty made two rehab starts, allowing three runs with a 12:1 K:BB over 8.1 innings. Johnson threw 78 pitches over five frames in his last rehab start, and it's likely he will re-enter the Angels' rotation. However, when exactly he will make his next start is unclear.

Nolan Schanuel - Taking seat Wednesday Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Though he's typically included in the lineup against southpaws like the Guardians' Parker Messick, the left-handed-hitting Schanuel will be given a breather while the Angels wrap up their series in Cleveland with a day game after a night game. Vaughn Grissom will step in at first base in place of Schanuel, who slashed .318/.333/.409 with four runs and one RBI while starting each of the Angels' first 11 games of May.

Vaughn Grissom - Lofts second homer Grissom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Impact The 25-year-old infielder drove a Franco Aleman fastball 406 feet the other way to right-center field in the eighth inning for the game's final bit of offense. It was Grissom's second homer of the season, and while he's also seen occasional action at first base and third base, he's emerged as the primary second baseman for the Halos since joining the big-league roster a month ago. Over his last 16 contests, Grissom is slashing .278/.310/.500 with six doubles, two long balls, four runs and nine RBI.

Walbert Ureña - Stuck with tough loss Tuesday Urena (1-4) took the loss Tuesday as the Angels fell 3-2 to the Guardians, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

Impact The rookie right-hander wasn't particularly efficient and got lifted after 91 pitches (50 strikes), but he kept the damage limited and the only extra-base against him was a solo shot by Angel Martinez in the third inning. Urena has worked at least five innings and given up two runs or fewer in three straight outings, and since joining the rotation April 19 he's delivered a 3.51 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB over 25.2 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the A's.
