Kyren Paris - Shelved at Triple-A Triple-A Salt Lake placed Paris on its 7-day injured list July 11 with an unspecified injury.
Impact Paris was sent to the Angels' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate July 20, but he never appeared in any games with the club before the ACL season ended July 25. The infielder could still be conducting his rehab in Arizona, but he'll likely need to report to Single-A Inland Empire or High-A Tri-City once he's ready to get in competitive at-bats before joining back up with Salt Lake. Paris had slashed .118/.224/.216 over 58 plate appearances with the Angels earlier in the season before being demoted to Salt Lake on June 8.

Chase Silseth - Goes on Triple-A IL Triple-A Salt Lake placed Silseth (elbow) on its 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact After being reinstated from the Angels' 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A on June 25 following a prolonged absence due to right elbow inflammation, Silseth turned in a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 7:7 K:BB over 16 innings across four outings with Salt Lake before succumbing to another setback with the elbow. The Angels had labeled Silseth's injury as discomfort coming out of his most recent start for Salt Lake on July 28, but a formal diagnosis for his injury hasn't been provided. In any case, Silseth doesn't look like he'll be back pitching for Salt Lake anytime soon, which will hurt his chances of building a case for a return to the big leagues.

Zach Neto - Reaches 20-steal mark Neto went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Impact Neto didn't have an extra-base hit over 12 games from July 21 to Aug. 2, but he's now hit a homer and a triple of his last two games. The shortstop's steal Sunday was his 20th of the year, and nine of them have come since the start of July. For the season, he's managed a .256/.320/.439 slash line with 14 home runs, 51 RBI, 49 runs scored, 23 doubles and one triple over 109 contests.

Roansy Contreras - Notches second save Contreras struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Impact Contreras has allowed just two runs over 10.1 innings while posting a 13:2 K:BB since moving back to the bullpen July 14. He hasn't been a candidate for much high-leverage work, but he got the save chance Sunday as the only Angels reliever to pitch less than twice over the previous five days. Through 48 innings between the Angels and the Pirates this year, Contreras has a 4.13 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 46:21 K:BB, though it appears his performance has turned a corner after a poor stint in the Angels' rotation. Still, Ben Joyce and Hunter Strickland figure to be the favorites for the few save chances the Angels will generate the rest of the way.

Griffin Canning - Wins despite walking four Canning (4-10) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out eight over five innings, earning the win over the Mets on Sunday.
Impact Canning's control was lacking as he threw just 54 of 97 pitches for strikes, but he did a decent job of preventing runs. Harrison Bader and Francisco Lindor each had RBI singles in the contest. It's been up and down results for Canning recently -- this was just the fourth time in 10 starts he's allowed less than four runs, and it was his first win since June 24. The right-hander still has an ugly 5.10 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 93:47 K:BB over 121.2 innings across 23 starts this season. He could match his career high for innings pitched (127) in his next start, which is tentatively projected to be a road outing versus the Nationals.

Adam Cimber - Signs minor-league deal with Angels Cimber and the Angels agreed on a minor-league contract Sunday.
Impact Cimber will report to Triple-A Salt Lake, returning to the Angels organization after he was released by the team July 23. The right-hander has struggled to a 7.03 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 24.1 innings in 28 appearances with the Angels this season. He'll look to hit the reset button against Triple-A competition.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Davis Daniel - Drawing another start Daniel is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Yankees on the road.
Impact Daniel will stick around as the Angels' No. 5 starter for another turn after he showed well in his return to the big leagues this past Wednesday, when he limited the Rockies to one run over five innings while striking out five batters. The right-hander will draw a tougher test for his second turn through the rotation, but barring a disaster of an outing in The Bronx, Daniel should have some staying power in a starting role with the Halos.

Anthony Rendon - Targeting Tuesday return Rendon (back) is fielding groundballs Sunday and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Registerre...
Impact The 34-year-old hasn't seen game action since July 26 due to lower-back inflammation, but he's poised to rejoin the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the IL. Rendon had been serving as the Angels leadoff hitter, but he won't immediately reclaim that role once reinstated.

Willie Calhoun - Idle against lefty Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Impact The lefty-hitting Calhoun is on the bench for the second game in a row while the Mets send southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill, but Calhoun seems to have recaptured a regular role at designated hitter against right-handed pitching after Anthony Rendon (back) was placed on the injured list Tuesday. Calhoun has started in each of the Halos' last five matchups with righties, going 4-for-21 with two doubles, two walks, two runs and two RBI.

Mickey Moniak - Sitting against lefty Moniak is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Impact The lefty-hitting Moniak will take a seat for the second day in a row while the Mets send another southpaw (Jose Quintana) to the hill. Kevin Pillar will spell Moniak in center field and bat cleanup.
AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Stefanic - Gaining playing time at 2B Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mets.
Impact Stefanic has now drawn four starts in six games since he was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake. Three of those starts have come against left-handed pitching, but he could end up getting regular work versus righties if the Angels opt to shift Brandon Drury off the keystone and have him fill in at third base while Luis Rengifo (wrist) and Anthony Rendon (back) are on the injured list. Stefanic has recorded a pair of base hits in both of his past two starts, bringing his batting average up to .275 over 40 at-bats with the big club this season.
AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Drury - Dropped from lineup Sunday Drury is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Impact Drury will take a seat for the second time in three games while he's managed just one hit in 25 at-bats over his last seven contests. The Angels haven't pulled the plug on Drury as an everyday player just yet, but his hold on a regular spot in the infield seems to be slipping.
AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Neto - Posts four RBI in win Neto went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's win over the Mets.
Impact Neto walked in his first trip to the plate before going on to score the Angels' first run on a Kevin Pillar single two batters later. The shortstop would then go on to add an RBI single in the fifth, followed by a three-run homer in the seventh, which would prove to be the game winner. The long ball was Neto's third since the start of July, while the multi-hit performance was his first since July 21 against Oakland. He's batting just .241 (7-for-29) over his last 10 contests with five RBI and six runs scored.
AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Joyce - Collects first save Joyce picked up the save over the Mets on Saturday, hurling 1.1 perfect innings while striking out one.
Impact Joyce entered the contest with two outs in the top of the eighth and a runner on third and was able to get Tyrone Taylor to ground out to escape the frame. The right-hander returned for the ninth and retired all three batters he faced, topping things off with a swinging strikeout of J.D. Martinez on a 104 mph fastball to end the game and secure his first save of the campaign. One would think that the dazzling performance will earn Joyce more save opportunities moving forward, especially after Hunter Strickland coughed up multiple runs in the seventh of Saturday's contest to put the Angels behind late. The former has not allowed a run since June 11 against the Diamondbacks.
AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE
José Soriano - Six shutout frames in no-decision Soriano did not factor into the decision in a win over the Mets on Saturday, allowing five hits and two walks over six shutout innings. He struck out six.
Impact Soriano kept the Mets' lineup on their toes Saturday, allowing only three men to reach second base over the course of six innings while inducing 14 swings and misses. Unfortunately for the right hander, he was unable to come away with the win due to the bullpen immediately blowing the Angels' lead in the seventh, though he's now logged quality starts in three of his last four outings. It also marked the second time this season in which Soriano's hurled six shutout frames, while his six strikeouts Saturday marked his highest total in that category since May 25 against the Guardians.
