Angels Reinstate Nolan Schanuel as Multiple Players Land on Injured List

The roster moves aim to steady first-base reps with Schanuel returning and internal options stepping up as the club manages short-term injuries.

Overview

  • The Angels reinstated first baseman Nolan Schanuel and placed outfielder Jorge Soler and outfielder Gustavo Campero on the injured list while designating catcher Omar Martinez for assignment.
  • Schanuel returns after a brief IL stay for an ankle issue and is expected to resume everyday duties at first base despite a drop in on-base production this season.
  • Soler was scratched earlier with what was first thought to be a hip problem and is now on the IL retroactive to June 4 with a left oblique strain.
  • The club selected Campero’s contract and immediately moved him to the IL with a broken hand, and the Angels cleared a roster spot by designating Martinez for assignment.
  • Vaughn Grissom’s strong offensive work while filling in at first base gives the Angels an internal alternative for playing time and is a development to watch as the team adjusts its lineup.
