Impact Criswell has resided on the Angels' 60-day injured list all season after he was diagnosed with shoulder inflammation during spring training. After resuming a throwing program and ramping up in recent weeks, Criswell has reached the final stage of his recovery from the injury.

Andrew Velazquez - Logs 10th steal Velazquez went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Royals.
Impact Velazquez has logged two steals over his last three games, though he's also struck out five times in that span. The shortstop is up to 10 thefts this season, and he's yet to get caught stealing. He's posted a lackluster .175/.219/.273 slash line with four home runs, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and six doubles across 197 plate appearances, and it's expected he could see a challenge for playing time from utility man Tyler Wade going forward.

Taylor Ward - Productive again Monday Ward went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Royals.
Impact Ward accounted for the Angels' two runs in the game, hitting a solo shot in the third inning and an RBI single in the fifth. He was the only Angels batter to record multiple hits in the contest, his third such effort in his last eight games. The 28-year-old is up to a .313/.406/.578 slash line with 11 homers, 28 RBI, 35 runs scored and a stolen base across 192 plate appearances.

Noah Syndergaard - Takes sixth loss Syndergaard (4-6) allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 7.1 innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Royals.
Impact Syndergaard gave up a two-run home run to Andrew Benintendi in the first inning, but he settled in after that. He faded at the end of his start, allowing an RBI double to Nicky Lopez in the seventh and another two-run blast to Salvador Perez in the eighth before he was relieved by Jaime Barria. Syndergaard previously hadn't allowed multiple homers in a start all year, and he's now given up six long balls in 58.1 innings. He has a 3.86 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB through 11 outings. The right-hander is lined up to start against the White Sox next week if the Angels continue to use a six-man rotation.

Kenny Rosenberg - Sent to Salt Lake Rosenberg was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Impact Rosenberg was called up for a spot start Sunday against Seattle and wound up throwing 4.2 scoreless innings, though his 1:3 K:BB was hardly impressive. He'll return to the minors as the Angels call up Janson Junk for added relief depth.
JUNE 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Janson Junk - Back with Angels Junk was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Impact Junk threw a single inning of scoreless relief for the Angels in late May but has spent the rest of the year at the Triple-A level. He hasn't been particularly good, posting a 5.08 ERA and 16.6 percent strikeout rate across seven starts, but he'll nevertheless get another opportunity in the majors, seemingly in a relief role. Kenny Rosenberg was optioned to clear space on the roster.

Max Stassi - Not in Monday's lineup Stassi isn't starting Monday's game against the Royals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Stassi will get a breather after he went 1-for-7 with a double, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout over the last two games. Kurt Suzuki is starting behind the plate and batting seventh.

Andrew Wantz - Notches first win Sunday Wantz (1-0) was credited with the win against the Mariners on Sunday, pitching a perfect inning during which he struck out two batters.
Impact Angels starter Kenny Rosenberg went 4.2 scoreless frames, falling just shy of qualifying for the win. The victory instead went to Wantz, who pitched a clean sixth inning that included two strikeouts. This was the right-hander's first win of the season and just the second of his big-league career. He's posted a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB across 13.1 innings with Los Angeles this season.
JUNE 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Loup - Notches hold Sunday Loup earned a hold by striking out the side in a perfect inning against Seattle on Sunday.
Impact Loup came in to start the seventh inning with the Angels up by three runs. He struck out Jesse Winker, Cal Raleigh and Justin Upton on 16 pitches -- five of which were swinging strikes. Loup struggled over his final four starts in May but has started to turn things around this month, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB across 5.1 innings.
