Mike Trout leaves Angels' game with upper back spasms
Mike Trout has left the Los Angeles Angels’ game against Houston with upper back spasmsJULY 13, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mike Trout - Lifted with back spasms Trout was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros due to upper-back spasms.
Impact Trout uncharacteristically struck out in both his plate appearances before being replaced in the field for the top of the fifth inning. It's unclear when the injury first surfaced, as even before Tuesday's contest the 30-year-old had struggled through nine games in July with a .508 OPS and 43.2 percent strikeout rate. Trout will continue to be evaluated and should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Michael Stefanic - Leading off Tuesday Stefanic will play second base and lead off Tuesday against the Astros, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact Stefanic has not hit higher than sixth since making his big-league debut earlier this month, but he will get a shot atop the batting order after reaching base 10 times over his last five games.

Austin Warren - Activated from injured list Warren (triceps) was activated from the injured list Tuesday.
Impact Warren appeared in nine minor-league games as part of a rehab assignment, and he got the green light to rejoin the big club after tossing two scoreless innings in his last outing. Warren has not been as effective this season as he was during the last, but he still figures to get a fair share of opportunities out of the Angels' bullpen.

Michael Stefanic - Reaches four times Sunday Stefanic went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.
Impact Stefanic reached base in all four of his plate appearances in the loss, and he scored a run in the third inning on a Monte Harrison home run. Stefanic has only one extra-base hit (a double) in 22 plate appearances, but he's shown an astute ability to get on base with a .389 average and .500 OBP over 22 plate appearances. His major-league skill set has thus far proven to be in line with what he showed in the minors; over 210 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake this season, the 26-year-old slashed .320/.410/.399 but had only 10 extra-base hits among his 57 total hits while posting a 25:12 BB:K.

Max Stassi - Homers against Baltimore Stassi went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a strikeout during Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.
Impact Stassi sat out twice in the last three games, but he helped to bring the Angels within four runs during the eighth inning Sunday. In spite of his sporadic playing time, he's recorded two extra-base hits over the last three games and has gone 3-for-9 with a homer, a double, three runs, two RBI and two walks during that time.

Monte Harrison - Blasts first homer of 2022 Harrison went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a strikeout during Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.
Impact Harrison didn't appear in any of the last three games, but he was productive while batting ninth during Sunday's series finale against Baltimore. Since joining the major-league club, the 26-year-old has gone 2-for-10 with a homer, five runs, three RBI and a stolen base. He isn't a very appealing fantasy option since he's started in just four games since being called up by the Angels on June 24.

José Suarez - Gives up four runs Suarez (1-2) allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one in 3.2 innings to take the loss during Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Suarez hadn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last five outings and held Baltimore scoreless over three innings Sunday, but he struggled against the surging Orioles in the bottom of the fourth inning and took his first loss since April 30. Over his last five appearances, the southpaw has posted a 3.80 ERA in 23.2 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Jimmy Herget - Nearing mound work Herget (shoulder) is slated to throw off a mound during the coming week, the Associated Press reports.
Impact Herget was placed on the 15-day IL on June 22 with a right shoulder impingement. He wasn't expected to be out long, but the right-hander suffered a setback in the final days of June and was subsequently shut down. He now appears just about ready to resume mound work, which should put him on track to return to the big-league club shortly after the All-Star break.
