LOS ANGELES ANGELS NEWS

Grant Dayton - Re-signs with Angels Dayton re-signed a minor-league deal with the Angels on Wednesday and was assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Impact After originally latching on with the Angels in May, Dayton had the option of opting out of his minor-league contract to pursue a big-league opportunity elsewhere. Instead, the veteran reliever decided to remain with Los Angeles. The southpaw has posted a 2.61 ERA, 0..92 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 20.2 innings with two Triple-A clubs this season and figures to be near the front of the line for a call-up if the Angels need a left-handed reliever.

Anthony Rendon - Hitless in return Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Impact Rendon was activated from the injured list prior to the game and started at third base while batting third in the order. The veteran worked a walk in his third at-bat but otherwise didn't make an impact offensively. Rendon is batting .237 on the season, putting him on pace for his worst average as a major-leaguer. He hit just .240 over 217 at-bats last season.

Brandon Marsh - Launches two homers in loss Marsh went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Mets.

Impact He was the only Angel to have any real success against New York pitching, as aside from Marsh's pair of homers, the other seven Los Angeles hits on the night all went for singles. The 24-year-old snapped a 27-game homer drought with the performance, and on the season Marsh is slashing .256/.302/.386 with six long balls, three steals, 21 runs and 30 RBI through 52 contests.

Jhonathan Diaz - Early exit in loss to Mets Diaz (1-1) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over 1.2 innings as the Angels fell 7-3 to the Mets. He struck out one.

Impact After a scoreless first inning, New York chased Diaz from the game with a parade of baserunners capped by a two-run double from Mark Canha. The 25-year-old southpaw began his 2022 stint with the Angels by firing 9.2 shutout frames over two starts, but since the calendar flipped to June, Diaz has been tagged for five runs in 5.2 innings, and his 2.93 ERA disguises a poor 11:10 K:BB through 15.1 innings.

Dillon Thomas - Optioned to Triple-A Thomas was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Impact Thomas went 0-for-2 with a run, a walk and a strikeout in his Angels debut Thursday but will head back to the minors two days after his contract was selected. He's slashing .295/.398/.489 with eight homers, 39 RBI, 36 runs and three stolen bases over 48 games in Salt Lake this year.

Jack Mayfield - Sent down Friday Mayfield was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Impact Mayfield was recalled by the Angels on Wednesday, and he went 0-for-8 with a run and two strikeouts over two games during his stint with the big-league club. However, he'll head back to the Triple-A club after Anthony Rendon was activated Friday.

JUNE 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jhonathan Diaz - Starting Friday Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake and is starting Friday's game against the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Diaz was scratched from Friday's start in Salt Lake and will officially step in to start in the Angels' series opener against the Mets. Over his first three major-league appearances of the season, he's posted a 1.32 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 13.2 innings.

JUNE 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Trout - Not starting Friday Trout (groin) isn't starting Friday against the Mets, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trout felt better Thursday and was hopeful that he'd be back in the lineup Friday, but he'll ultimately require at least one additional day to recover. However, manager Phil Nevin said prior to Friday's matchup that Trout is close to a return, so it's certainly possible that he returns sometime during the team's weekend series against the Mets.

Anthony Rendon - Activated, starting Friday Rendon (wrist) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Friday against the Mets, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rendon resumed hitting in a cage while also taking groundballs recently, and he's been cleared to start at third base during Friday's series opener against the Mets. The 32-year-old was sidelined since May 27 but will reclaim his job as the Angels' everyday third baseman now that he's been activated. Over 41 games prior to his absence, he slashed .242/.335/.403 with five homers, 23 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases.

Impact Trout exited Tuesday's contest with left groin tightness and hasn't seen the field in the past two games, but a trip to the injured list appears increasingly unlikely. Even if the 30-year-old sits out again Friday, he appears on track to rejoin the lineup at some point this weekend.

Andrew Velazquez - Slugs big homer in win Velazquez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 5-2 victory against Boston.

Impact Velazquez struck out in three of his four plate appearances, but he made his one hit count when he swatted a three-run shot to right field in the sixth inning. That proved to be the difference as the Angels won 5-2 to snap a franchise-record 14-game losing streak. Velazquez entered the contest having gone 0-for-19 over his previous eight contests, and he's slashing a paltry .179/.231/.269 on the season.

Raisel Iglesias - Secures save Thursday Iglesias pitched a perfect ninth inning against the Red Sox on Thursday, striking out two to earn a save.

Impact Iglesias was tasked with closing out the contest as the Angels sought to snap a franchise record 14-game losing streak, and he succeeded by retiring all three batters he faced. The veteran closer had only one save opportunity during the stretch of team losses, so his job security was never in question. Iglesias has racked up 12 saves on the campaign while posting a 4.43 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Shohei Ohtani - Leads team in snapping 14-game skid Ohtani (4-4) earned the win over Boston on Thursday, pitching seven innings and allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six. He also went 2-for-4 with a two-...

Impact Ohtani took it upon himself to end the Angels' franchise-record 14-game losing streak, producing more runs with his bat (two) than he gave up over seven innings on the mound. The two-way star gave Los Angeles its first lead with a two-run shot to center in the fifth inning and finished with his fifth quality start of the campaign as a pitcher. Ohtani racked up an impressive 18 swinging strikes despite registering a modest six punchouts.
