LOS ANGELES ANGELS NEWS

Griffin Canning - Beat up in loss Canning (4-11) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.1 innings while striking out three.

Impact Canning got himself into trouble right out of the gate, allowing three consecutive hits to open the contest, including a three-run shot off the bat of Marcell Ozuna. The right-hander would surrender another run in the second, along with a second long ball in the fifth, marking the first time he's coughed up multiple homers since June 13 against the Diamondbacks. The seven runs charged to Canning on Saturday also marked a season high and he's now lost three of his last four decisions (spanning eight starts).

Niko Kavadas - Not facing lefty Kavadas is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Kavadas went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk in his MLB debut Friday, but he'll take a seat Saturday against southpaw Chris Sale. Kavadas figures to see plenty of action at DH against right-handers now that Willie Calhoun is off the Angels' roster.

Mickey Moniak - On bench Saturday Moniak is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Moniak will retreat to the bench to avoid a same-hand matchup with Chris Sale. In his place, Kevin Pillar will bat cleanup and play center field.

Willie Calhoun - Receives outright assignment The Angels outrighted Calhoun to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday after he cleared waivers.

Impact Calhoun was designated for assignment Thursday after appearing in 68 games and posting a .695 OPS while primarily serving as a DH for the Angels. He'll return to Salt Lake, where he's logged a .260/.339/.354 slash line in 109 plate appearances this season.

Luis Rengifo - Moved to 60-day IL The Angels transferred Rengifo (wrist) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Saturday's move is purely transactional, as Rengifo underwent season-ending surgery on his right wrist Aug. 6. His switch to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Jose Cisnero (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day injured list. Rengifo is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2025.

José Cisnero - Reinstated from IL The Angels activated Cisnero (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Cisnero hasn't pitched for the Halos since April 27 due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder. However, after allowing one run with eight strikeouts across four rehab appearances (4.2 innings) with Triple-A Salt Lake, the 35-year-old was cleared to rejoin the active roster. Jose Soriano (arm fatigue) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

José Soriano - Dealing with arm fatigue The Angels placed Soriano on the injured list Saturday due to right arm fatigue, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Soriano experienced decreased velocity in Friday's start against Atlanta and was removed after 3.1 innings. The 25-year-old transitioned to a starter over the offseason and has thrown 113.0 innings in 2024, by far his highest inning total since entering the professional ranks in 2017. With the Angels not serious playoff contenders, the team shouldn't be expected to push Soriano along in his recovery. Jose Cisnero (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Anthony Rendon - Idle Saturday, won't go on IL Rendon (elbow) won't require a stint on the injured list and is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rendon was removed from Friday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the right elbow but the injury isn't considered serious enough to warrant an IL move, so the 34-year-old should be considered day-to-day. Brandon Drury will bat sixth and play third base Saturday.

Andrew Wantz - Surgery wasn't Tommy John Wantz's season-ending elbow surgery wasn't a Tommy John procedure, per MLB.com.

Impact When the Angels organization announced in July that Wantz had season-ending elbow surgery, not many details were provided, leading to many to assume that he underwent a Tommy John procedure. Though the exact nature of the surgery still hasn't been clarified, the fact that it wasn't a Tommy John repair significantly shortens the right-hander's timeframe for a return. According to the team's official MLB.com site, Wantz is currently rehabbing in Arizona and could be ready to pitch during spring training next year.

Logan O'Hoppe - Belts game-tying homer O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Impact Entering Friday, O'Hoppe was 0-for-28 with three walks and 13 strikeouts over his last seven games. He put the slump to rest with a game-tying blast in the fourth inning, which was his 17th homer of the season. The catcher has added a .256/.314/.434 slash line with 48 RBI, 51 runs scored, 13 doubles, a triple and two stolen bases over 104 contests. O'Hoppe still has some work to do to get back on track -- he was hitting .281 at the end of July -- but he can loosen his grip a bit now that he's ended his dry spell.
