Michael Lorenzen - Suffers setback in recovery Lorenzen (shoulder) recently had a setback in his recovery and has been scratched from his rehab start at Double-A Rocket City, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lorenzen's rehab start likely would have been one of the final steps in his recovery process, but he'll now rest for a few days before restarting his throwing program. It seems likely that the right-hander's setback will force him to stay on the injured list until sometime in August.

Mike Trout - Receives cortisone shot Trout (ribs) received a cortisone shot recently and won't return when first eligible Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact The Angels initially hoped that Trout would be able to be activated early next week, but he'll spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. The 30-year-old will continue to receive treatment and will be monitored on a daily basis, so it's still possible that he returns at some point next week.

Max Stassi - Out of lineup Saturday Stassi isn't starting Saturday's game against Atlanta, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Stassi started Friday's series opener against Atlanta and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. Kurt Suzuki will take over behind the plate and bat seventh Saturday.

Jonathan Villar - Pops third homer Villar went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta.
Impact His ninth-inning shot off Will Smith ruined Atlanta's shutout bid, but the Angels only managed five hits in total on the night. The homer was Villar's first as an Angel and third of the year, but the veteran infielder hasn't done much at the plate since coming over from the Cubs, slashing .178/.245/.244 through 50 plate appearances with Los Angeles. With David Fletcher (hip) and Matt Duffy (back) both inching closer to returns, Villar is running out of time just to stake his claim to a roster spot for the rest of the season, much less a regular role.

Shohei Ohtani - Fades late Friday Ohtani (9-5) took the loss Friday as the Angels were downed 8-1 by Atlanta, coughing up six runs on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out 11.
Impact The two-way superstar blanked Atlanta through six innings and fanned double-digit batters for the fifth straight start and the eighth time this season, but Ohtani faded badly in the seventh as Matt Olson and Orlando Arcia both took him deep. The right-hander exited after 92 pitches (68 strikes), and Ohtani will take a 2.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 134:23 K:BB through 93.1 innings on the season into his next outing.

Matt Duffy - Resumes baseball activities Duffy (back) has progressed to light baseball activities but is being conservative with his bask spasms in hopes that the injury doesn't flare up, per MLB.com.
Impact Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad indicated July 15 that Duffy has been able to play catch and swing a bat, but the veteran infielder hasn't yet started a rehab assignment. He last played June 26 before departing with what was later diagnosed as lower bask spasms. Duffy slashed .261/.308/.291 with no homers, seven runs and five RBI over 143 plate appearances before landing on the IL.

Mike Trout - Could return early next week According to Angels manager Phil Nevin, Trout (ribs) is feeling better, and the team is hopeful that he'll be able to return early next week, per MLB.com.
Impact Trout is eligible to be activated from his stint on the 10-day IL on Monday, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, but it's far from certain that he'll be able to return on that day. Nonetheless, Nevin expressed optimism that the superstar outfielder is getting better, stating, "He feels good today. It's a situation where we had to put him on the IL and hopefully it's not much longer than that. It's something we need to address and access every day. He's getting treatment but he's not there." Trout is slashing .270/.368/.599 with 24 homers and 51 RBI across 326 plate appearances this season, but he had been struggling prior to landing on the IL, batting .167 (6-for-36) with 18 strikeouts and just two walks through 11 games in July.

Dillon Thomas - Called up Friday Thomas was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Impact After he rejoined the organization at the end of June, Thomas will make his way to Atlanta ahead of the Angels' first series of the second half Friday. The outfielder has appeared in one game in the big leagues this season, going 0-for-2 with a walk and run scored June 9 versus the Red Sox. David MacKinnon was optioned to Salt Lake on Friday in a corresponding move.

David MacKinnon - Optioned to Triple-A MacKinnon was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Impact MacKinnon was sent back to Triple-A after he spent just over a month in the big leagues, producing a .189 average with six RBI over 37 at-bats in 16 games since his call up June 18. Dillon Thomas was called up from Salt Lake on Friday to replace him on the active roster.

Jimmy Herget - Rehab assignment on tap Herget (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Rocket City on Friday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact Herget began throwing bullpens last week and has been cleared to return to game action with the Double-A club. The right-hander has been on the injured list for a month due to his shoulder injury and suffered a setback in late June, so it's possible that he'll require multiple rehab appearances prior to rejoining the Angels.
