LOS ANGELES ANGELS NEWS

Willie Calhoun - Designated for assignment The Angels designated Calhoun for assignment Thursday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Calhoun has been the Angels' primary designated hitter and cleanup man against right-handed pitching since he was added to the roster back in early May. However, after slashing just .245/.315/.380 over 254 plate appearances, the Halos have decided to remove him from the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Calhoun seems likely to clear waivers. Manager Ron Washington could opt to filter through multiple players at DH down the stretch.

Matt Thaiss - Swats second homer Thaiss went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Thaiss produced one of just two extra-base hits for Los Angeles in the defeat, smacking a solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. The backstop was in the lineup for the third time in five days -- twice he's worked behind the plate, and once he was the DH -- as his playing time has been slightly ticking up. Thaiss has earned the increased at-bats by slashing .342/.435/.474 with seven RBI, four runs, a 7:9 BB:K and three stolen bases over 12 contests since the beginning of July.

Tyler Anderson - Surrenders season-high seven runs Anderson (9-11) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks over 5.2 innings while striking out eight.

Impact The Blue Jays got to Anderson early and often Wednesday, tagging the veteran for runs in the second, third, fifth and sixth innings while the Angels' offense struggled to get anything going in support. The lefty surrendered a season-high seven runs on the night while surrendering multiple home runs for the first time in his last five starts. Anderson's four walks in the contest were the most he's issued since June 25 against the Athletics (span of seven starts) and he's now allowed multiple free passes in two of his last three outings. On a positive note, Anderson has gone at least five innings in seven consecutive starts.

Brandon Drury - Resting Wednesday Drury isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Drury has gone 4-for-18 with two RBI and two runs scored over his last six games and will take a seat for Wednesday's matchup against Jose Berrios. Michael Stefanic will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.

Jo Adell - Not in Wednesday's lineup Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Adell has an .806 OPS with two homers and two doubles through 12 games in August, and he'll take a seat for Wednesday's series finale versus Toronto. Kevin Pillar will start in right field and bat third.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Zach Neto - Receiving Wednesday off Neto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact The 23-year-old's trip to the bench will end a run of 30 straight starts, during which he slashed .343/.442/.608 with seven doubles, six homers, eight steals, 22 RBI and 21 runs. Luis Guillorme will start at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday while Neto sits.

Logan O'Hoppe - Getting Wednesday off O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup Wednesday against Toronto, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact O'Hoppe remains without a hit (0-for-28) over his last seven games, so he'll get a day to clear his head while Matt Thaiss fills catches for lefty Tyler Anderson and bats seventh.

Kenny Rosenberg - Back in minors The Angels optioned Rosenberg to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Impact Rosenberg threw five innings of one-run ball during his long-relief appearance Tuesday. He'll now be sent back to Triple-A in favor of Brock Burke, who was claimed off waivers from Texas on Tuesday and will provide the Halos' bullpen with another fresh arm.

Kenny Rosenberg - Tosses five innings in long relief Rosenberg allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings in long relief against Toronto on Tuesday.

Impact Angels starter Carson Fulmer was able to go just three innings, giving up five runs while tossing 75 pitches. Rosenberg -- who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake earlier in the day -- stepped in and logged what was essentially a starter's workload with 78 pitches of his own, and he was much more effective than Fulmer in yielding just one run across five frames. Due to the large workload, Rosenberg will presumably now be unavailable for several days, so he could move back to the minors in short order to allow Los Angeles to bring up a fresh arm.
