Taylor Ward - Day-to-day with arm injury Ward avoided a concussion when running into the wall Friday against Oakland and is considered day-to-day with a stinger in his arm, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News rep...

Impact Ward was examined by a team trainer after the scary incident and wound up leaving the game, but he's thankfully avoided a serious injury. He may need a day or two to return to the lineup, though he could even return as early as Saturday night.

Austin Warren - Still weeks from return Warren (nose) has not yet been cleared to run or take part in strenuous activities, and he hopes to return to throwing off a mound in a few weeks, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com report...

Impact Warren underwent surgery on his fractured nose May 10, but he is reportedly still feeling pressure around the area. The righty reliever is playing catch but hasn't been able to resume more intense activity. A definite timetable for Warren's return has yet to be laid out, though June remains a possibility.

Shohei Ohtani - Swipes bag in loss Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a run, a walk, a stolen base and three strikeouts in Friday's loss to Oakland.

Impact It was a frustrating night for the two-way star, as he fanned multiple times for the fourth straight game. However, Ohtani provided some fantasy value with a first-inning walk that was followed by a stolen base and subsequently turned into a run. Over his past four games, Ohtani has gone 2-for-17 with 10 strikeouts, and the Angels have lost all four contests.

Grant Dayton - Signs with Angels Dayton signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Saturday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Dayton opted out of a minor-league deal with the Marlins last weekend, and he'll settle for another minor-league contract with the Angels. The left-hander posted a 2.35 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 15.1 innings over 12 appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville this year, and he'll likely report to Triple-A Salt Lake to begin his time with his new organization.

Chase Silseth - Can't escape fifth inning Silseth (1-1) took the loss during Friday's 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Athletics, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Impact Making his second start against Oakland this week, Silseth didn't fare as well this time around. All three runs surrendered came via the long ball with a Seth Brown two-run homer in the fifth dealing the crushing blow. Through 10.1 innings, the 22-year-old owns a 2.61 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 10 strikeouts compared to four walks.

Taylor Ward - Exits with apparent injury Ward was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics in the top of the ninth inning with an apparent injury after running into the wall in right field, Jeff Fletcher of The Or...

Impact Ward was examined by a trainer for a few minutes after making a difficult catch in right field, but he was ultimately removed from the game with an undisclosed injury. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-4 with a double and a run. If the 28-year-old is forced to miss time, Tyler Wade might see a start or two in the outfield, although Jo Adell would likely be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to cover any extended absence.

José Quijada - Rehab assignment begins Saturday Quijada (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Quijada threw 20 pitches while facing live hitters Tuesday, and he'll return to game action with a minor-league affiliate this weekend. The southpaw hasn't pitched in a game since Opening Day, so it seems likely that he'll require multiple rehab appearances prior to being reinstated from the injured list.

Kurt Suzuki - Working out Friday Suzuki (illness) worked out Friday after rejoining the Angels, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Suzuki spent nearly two weeks away from the team while on the COVID-19 injured list, but it was encouraging to see him working out Friday. It's not yet clear whether he'll require a rehab assignment prior to being activated, but he seems to be trending toward a return.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Max Stassi - Slated to begin rehab assignment Stassi (illness) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stassi has been on the COVID-19 injured list for a week and a half and said that he felt sick for three or four days last week. However, he rejoined the Angels on Friday and participated in workouts. He expects to play in at least two rehab games, and it seems likely that the backstop will be activated from the injured list early next week.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Rojas - Reinstated from injured list Rojas (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

Impact Rojas spent nearly two weeks away from Triple-A Salt Lake, but he'll be able to rejoin the minor-league club after clearing the league's health and safety protocols. Over 11 minor-league games this year, he's hit .256 with a triple, eight runs, four RBI and a stolen base.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Archie Bradley - Rehab assignment on tap Bradley (abdomen) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bradley threw a pair of bullpen sessions this week and is expected to throw an inning with the Angels' minor-league affiliate Saturday. He hasn't pitched in a game since April 29, so it's possible he'll require several rehab appearances prior to rejoining the major-league roster. However, Bradley will likely reclaim a high-leverage role in the Angels' bullpen once he's activated.

Matt Duffy - Remains out of lineup Duffy (face) isn't starting Friday against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Duffy suffered a facial laceration Tuesday against the Rangers and will remain out of the lineup for a second straight game. However, he went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter Wednesday, so it's possible he'll be available off the bench once again.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Wade - Not in Friday's lineup Wade isn't starting Friday against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Although right-hander Paul Blackburn is starting Friday, Wade will retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Luis Rengifo will take over at the keystone and bat seventh.
