Caden Dana - Returned to minors Dana was optioned to Double-A Rocket City on Monday.

Impact Dana has been hit hard since being promoted at the beginning of the month, surrendering 11 earned runs on 14 hits and seven walks while registering eight strikeouts over 10.1 innings. While this isn't the type of performance he was looking for in his first taste of the big leagues, the future is bright for the 21-year-old, who should be back in the near future.

Kenny Rosenberg - Called up Monday Rosenberg was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Impact Rosenberg will return to the major-league roster after being sent down to Salt Lake on Aug. 14, posting a 3.73 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 31.1 innings in five starts since being optioned. The southpaw has produced a 6.87 ERA over 18.1 innings in four appearances, including a start, with the Angels this season. In a corresponding move, right-hander Caden Dana was optioned to Double-A Rocket City on Monday.

Mike Trout - Open to moving from center field Trout (knee) said Monday that he is open to moving to a corner outfield spot or serving as a designated hitter in 2025, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Trout tore the meniscus in his left knee for the second time this season in late July, and he underwent surgery to repair the injury Aug. 9. Trout has progressed through his recovery program to do agility drills, and he revealed Monday that he has been cleared to swing a bat. He expects to have a normal offseason and appears to be considering a position shift in 2025 to reduce the risk of injury to his left knee.

Logan O'Hoppe - Day of rest Monday O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who had caught the previous two games for the Halos. Matt Thaiss will be behind the dish in Monday's series opener.

Brandon Drury - Out again Monday Drury (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's the fourth straight start he's missed due to lingering left hamstring tightness. Charles Leblanc will play second base for the Angels while Drury continues to rest up.

Mickey Moniak - Absent from Monday's lineup Moniak (hand) is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Moniak had to exit Sunday's contest against the Astros after being hit in the hand by a pitch. Initial tests came back clean and he's listed on Monday's lineup card as a reserve, although it's not clear whether he'll be available off the bench. Jordyn Adams is in center field Monday.

Taylor Ward - Hits career-best 24th homer Ward went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Astros.

Impact A late surge has seen Ward slug seven homers over his last 15 games to give himself a career-best 24 long balls this season. He's hit safely in 10 of 13 games in September, going 15-for-46 (.326) in that span. The outfielder is up to a .246/.321/.437 slash line with 68 RBI, 70 runs scored, four stolen bases and 26 doubles over 143 contests this season, and he's regularly hit leadoff over the last month.

Caden Dana - Struggles again Sunday Dana (1-2) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Astros.

Impact Dana allowed five runs for the second start in a row, though he was able to pitch fairly well the first time through the order. Four of the five runs on his line came in the fourth inning. Dana now has a 10.45 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB over 10.1 innings through three big-league starts. The 20-year-old offers little fantasy appeal in redraft formats, but this rough first stint in the majors shouldn't impact his long-term outlook. He's tentatively projected for a rematch with the Astros in Houston for his next start.

Mickey Moniak - Suffers hand in loss Moniak suffered a hand contusion in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Moniak was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, ultimately being removed from the contest as a result. The initial tests following the game showed a contusion, but he will undergo additional examinations. The outfielder finished his day 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of Monday's series opener with the White Sox.

Jordyn Adams - Getting fourth straight start Adams will start in right field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Adams will pick up his fourth consecutive start in right field and should be in line for a near-everyday role over the final two weeks of the season if Kevin Pillar (thumb) and Bryce Teodosio (finger) are unable to return. Since joining the Angels on Sept. 7 following his promotion from Triple-A Salt Lake, Adams has gone 4-for-16 with a home run, a stolen base, a walk, two RBI and two runs.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Stefanic - Not starting Sunday Stefanic (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Stefanic will be on the bench for a second straight game while he tends to a right calf injury. With Brandon Drury (hamstring) also day-to-day and not included in the lineup, the Angels will have spots available in the infield for Jack Lopez at second base and Eric Wagaman at third base.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Joyce - Done for season Angels manager Ron Washington confirmed Sunday that Joyce (shoulder) won't return from the 15-day injured list this season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Joyce's placement on the IL is retroactive to Sept. 7, but the Angels won't rush him back for the final week of the season even though an MRI on his right shoulder returned clean. The hard-throwing right-hander has been diagnosed with an impingement in his right shoulder, but he should be in store for a normal offseason. Barring any high-profile additions to the bullpen this winter, Joyce will likely head into spring training as the favorite to open the 2025 campaign as the Angels' closer. After getting called up from the minors in early June, Joyce produced a 2.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 34.2 innings while collecting two wins, eight holds and going 4-for-4 in save opportunities.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Drury - Still sitting Sunday Drury (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact It's the third consecutive absence for Drury due to hamstring tightness, which first surfaced during Wednesday's matchup with the Twins. Jack Lopez is starting at the keystone and batting ninth in the series finale versus Houston.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

José Suarez - Shifting to rotation Suarez will move into the Angels' starting rotation after Sam Aldegheri (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The left-hander had his contract selected by the Angels on Sept. 9, and he delivered seven scoreless frames of long relief in his two appearances. Suarez posted an 8.15 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 46:23 K:BB across 35.1 innings for the Angels before being designated for assignment in mid-June.
