Mickey Moniak - Has stitches removed Moniak (finger) had the stitches removed from his left middle finger Friday and could start swinging a bat next week, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Moniak fractured the tip of his left middle finger during an attempted bunt Aug. 6, but he hasn't been ruled out for the season. If he's able to take swings next week, it stands to reason that Moniak could be back with the club in September.

Anthony Rendon - Begins taking grounders Rendon took grounders Friday for the first time since undergoing wrist surgery in June, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
Impact Rendon isn't going to return this season, but his ability to begin some baseball activity at this point in his recovery leaves little doubt that he'll be ready for spring training in 2023. In fact, the veteran third baseman is expected to have a normal offseason without rehab. Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad echoed that point Friday, saying that he doesn't anticipate anything delaying Rendon's offseason.

José Quijada - Notches third save Quijada saved Sunday's 4-2 win against the Twins, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Quijada made quick work of the heart of Minnesota's lineup on 11 pitches to record his third save of the season and first since August 2, with Jimmy Herget and Ryan Tepera picking up saves in the time between. Sunday's use provided no insight into the closer situation as all three relievers pitched during Saturday's extra-inning win. Quijada has surrendered one run across 5.1 innings in August and possesses a 2.96 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 25 appearances.

Logan O'Hoppe - Flashing power since trade O'Hoppe is slashing .227/.393/.773 with four home runs and seven RBI in six games with Double-A Rocket City since he was traded from Philadelphia to the Angels.
Impact Though he's struck out in 25 percent of his plate appearances since shifting organizations, O'Hoppe has also walked at a hearty 18.5 percent clip in addition to experiencing the surge in power. The 22-year-old has previously shown streakiness when it comes to the long ball -- he had separate stretches earlier in the season when he homered in five consecutive games and three straight contests along with a 16-game span during which he didn't go deep at all. Collectively, he's hit 19 homers and notched 52 RBI over 344 plate appearances and could jump up to Triple-A soon if he continues to crush the ball.

Tucker Davidson - Victorious in quality start Davidson (2-3) earned the win during Sunday's 4-2 victory over Minnesota, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts in six innings.
Impact Davidson served up a two-run shot to Byron Buxton in the first inning but rebounded to keep Minnesota quiet the rest of the way. The 26-year-old rebounded from five walks in his most recent start August 7 to fire 61 of 87 pitches for strikes with eight of the swinging variety. Davidson has surrendered eight runs on 16 baserunners with four strikeouts in 10 innings across two starts with the Angels, and he's scheduled to pitch again next weekend against Detroit.

Mike Trout - Takes full round of BP Trout (ribs) participated in a full round of batting practice Sunday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact Trout also hit on the field Saturday and may be able to progress to facing live pitching in the near future. The 31-year-old remains without a clear return timeline, but his recent progress is an encouraging sign for a potential return in late August or early September.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Max Stassi - Steps out of lineup Stassi is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Twins, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Stassi has a .589 OPS through 11 games in August and will take a seat Sunday after starting the past seven contests. Kurt Suzuki will work behind the plate and bat seventh in the series finale against Minnesota.

Taylor Ward - Delivers walkoff homer Ward went 2-for-5 with a walkoff two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Twins.
Impact Ward completed the Angels' comeback victory in the 11th inning, taking Twins reliever Emilio Pagan deep. This was Ward's third homer in his last 10 games, and he's hit safely in eight of those contests. The outfielder is up to 16 long balls, 43 RBI, 52 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .268/.357/.461 slash line through 381 plate appearances this year.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Shohei Ohtani - Sparks comeback Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Twins.
Impact Ohtani got the Angels on the board with his eighth-inning blast. In the 10th, he was intentionally walked, but he got doubled off at first base after Luis Rengifo lined out to center field. The homer was Ohtani's fourth in August and his 26th of the year. The superstar is slashing .253/.346/.499 with 67 RBI, 63 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 474 plate appearances.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Tepera - Snags win in extra innings Tepera (2-2) earned the extra-innings win Saturday over the Twins, allowing a walk and striking out one without allowing a hit in a scoreless inning.
Impact Tepera worked the 11th inning and ended up with the win after Taylor Ward hit a walkoff home run. In his last seven appearances, Tepera has allowed three hits, one walk and one hit batter while striking out four without allowing a run. The closer role is still up for grabs, with Tepera, Jose Quijada, Jimmy Herget and Jesse Chavez all receiving high-leverage chances since Raisel Iglesias was traded to Atlanta last week. Tepera's current scoreless streak bodes well for his chances to keep getting save chances. He's converted two while adding 15 holds and posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB through 43 innings this year.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reid Detmers - Yields two runs Detmers allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out nine over five innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Saturday.
Impact Detmers has recorded at least six strikeouts in eight straight starts, but he wasn't very efficient Saturday. The southpaw needed 96 pitches (62 strikes) to complete five frames, with Carlos Correa's solo home run and sacrifice fly accounting for the damage on his line. Detmers hasn't allowed more than two runs in one outing since the start of July. He owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 91:34 K:BB through 94 innings across 18 starts overall. The 23-year-old is projected for a favorable road start versus the Tigers next weekend.
