Max Stassi - Not starting Wednesday Stassi isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Taylor Ward - Sitting again Wednesday Ward (shoulder/neck) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 28-year-old had an MRI come back clean Tuesday but has yet to be cleared to throw or play the field, as he could worsen the injury. Ward didn't appear in Tuesday's contest but was reportedly available to pinch hit, and the same figures to be true Wednesday. According to Blum, manager Joe Maddon said Ward is feeling about 10 percent better than Tuesday. With Shohei Ohtani a staple of the lineup at designated hitter regardless of whether or not he's pitching, Ward could be limited to bench duties for the near future if the Angels opt to keep him on the active roster.

Trey Cabbage - Facing extended absence Cabbage is expected to miss 3-to-4 months after he was diagnosed with a fractured left forearm, which he suffered Friday in a game for Double-A Rocket City, Mike DiGiovanna of the...
Impact Before picking up the injury, Cabbage slashed .327/.434/.664 with 10 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 136 plate appearances. His projected recovery timeline puts him in danger of missing the rest of the season.

Brandon Marsh - Collects three hits Tuesday Marsh went 3-for-4 with a run in a 5-3 victory versus the Rangers on Tuesday.
Impact Marsh knocked three singles in the contest, and he came around to score the Angels' third run in the fourth inning. This was Marsh's third three-hit game of the campaign. He's hitting a solid .282/.338./.411 with four homers, 24 RBI and three steals on the season.

Tyler Wade - Notches fourth steal Wade went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 victory against Texas.
Impact Wade knocked in a run with a fourth-inning bunt single, and he subsequently stole second base. The theft was his first since May 4, a stretch of 16 games. He didn't get on base much during that span, going 6-for-37 with two walks and 11 strikeouts.

Jared Walsh - Homers, doubles in win Walsh went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs in Tuesday's win against the Rangers.
Impact Walsh ripped a ground-rule double off Dane Dunning in the fourth inning and later came around to score. After falling just short the inning before, the first baseman went deep off the starter in the following frame for his ninth long ball of the season. Walsh has gone 4-for-15 with three homers, four RBI and four runs over his last four games. On the season, the 28-year-old is batting .243 with nine home runs, 27 RBI and 20 runs over 148 at-bats in 41 games while hitting in the heart of the Angels' lineup.

Raisel Iglesias - Snags one-out save Iglesias pitched one-third inning Tuesday, allowing one hit while striking out a batter on his way to a save in the 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact After Aaron Loup surrendered a solo homer and walked a batter with two outs in the ninth, Iglesias was called upon to get the Angels to the finish line with a 5-2 lead. The closer allowed an RBI double to Adolis Garcia, but ultimately struck out Jonah Heim to end the contest. It was the right-hander's 11th save of the year in 12 opportunities and he has now produced three consecutive appearances without allowing an earned run. On the season, Iglesias owns a 3.94 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 23 punchouts over 16 innings in 19 appearances.

Noah Syndergaard - Gets revenge versus Rangers Syndergaard (4-2) earned the win Tuesday after he pitched eight innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits while striking out five versus the Rangers.
Impact After surrendering six runs (four earned) while only registering two outs in his last start versus the Rangers last Monday, Syndergaard flipped the script Tuesday. He pitched seven scoreless to open the outing, giving up his only run on a solo homer by Jonah Heim in the eighth frame. In what could be considered a redemption start for the 29-year-old, he tossed a season-high eight innings, while producing his third quality start of the season. It was the second time this year that he didn't walk a batter and his season-long stats now sit at a 3.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 27 strikeouts over 38 frames in seven starts.

Chris Rodríguez - Shut down from throwing Rodriguez (shoulder) recently experienced a setback in his recovery and has been shut down from throwing, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact It's unclear exactly how far Rodriguez was into his throwing program, but he's now been shut down. The 23-year-old began the season on the 60-day injured list while recovery from capsule repair surgery in November, and the setback could jeopardize any chance of seeing game action in 2022.

Griffin Canning - Avoiding surgery for now Canning (back) said he won't undergo surgery on his back after visiting a special Monday and hopes to pitch again this season, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact The right-hander has been battling the back issues since last July and suffered a setback during spring training, but he'll opt for a rehab program rather than surgery. Canning doesn't have a timeline to start a throwing program, so it seems unlikely he'll be back during the first half of the season. He can continue to be considered out indefinitely at least until he's able to participate in some baseball activities..

Taylor Ward - MRI clean, kept from throwing Ward had an MRI on his neck and shoulder come back clean Tuesday and is available to pinch hit against the Rangers, though he hasn't been cleared to throw and cannot yet play the f...
Impact Ward is out of the lineup for the third straight game Tuesday since crashing into the outfield wall Friday, and he's not dealing with structural damage in his neck or shoulder. However, the injury could apparently still get worse by throwing and playing the field, per Sam Blum of The Athletic. For most teams Ward would be able to shift to designated hitter while going through his recovery, but Shohei Ohtani is locked in at the position for the Angels. It remains to be seen how manager Joe Maddon and the team handle the situation from here, but Ward's opportunities may be limited for at least the immediate future.

Taylor Ward - Remains sidelined Ward (shoulder) will remain on the bench Tuesday against Texas, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Ward hasn't played since crashing into the outfield wall Friday against Oakland. His injury was originally described as a stinger in his right arm, though he was sent for an MRI due to weakness in his right shoulder Monday. The results of that test are not yet known, but he's evidently yet to be cleared to start. Tyler Wade will get the nod in right field.

Anthony Rendon - On bench Tuesday Rendon will sit Tuesday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact This appears to be just a routine day off for Rendon. He got off to a slow start at the plate this season but has hit .361/.425/.556 over his last 10 games. Matt Duffy will start at third base.

Impact Valdez was designated for assignment by the Angels on Wednesday but will remain in the organization. He pitched in one game during his time with the big club, allowing one run in one inning of work. The veteran had been working as a starter in the minors prior to his call-up, compiling a 3.03 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across five starts covering 35.2 innings.

Archie Bradley - Back in action Bradley (abdomen) was activated off the injured list Monday.
Impact Bradley had been sidelined since late April due to an abdominal strain, but he's ready to go after making a single rehab appearance. He struggled to a 7.27 ERA in eight outings prior to his injury, so the Angels will be hoping for much more from him upon his return.

Ryan Tepera - Records 12th hold Tepera earned a hold against Oakland on Sunday, striking out both batters he faced in the eighth inning.
Impact Starter Patrick Sandoval gave the Angels seven strong innings before beginning to falter in the eighth, and Tepera was brought in with a pair of runners on base and only one out. The righty reliever cooled the threat by striking out Sheldon Neuse and Seth Brown swinging. The hold was Tepera's league-leading 12th of the campaign.

Jose Rojas - Designated for assignment Rojas was designated for assignment by the Angels on Monday.
Impact Rojas has been at Triple-A Salt Lake since early May, but he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after he was recently reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list. Over 13 minor-league games this year, he's hit .224 with a triple, nine runs, six RBI and a stolen base.
