Overview
- The Angels completed multiple roster moves on Saturday that reinstated Nolan Schanuel, placed Jorge Soler on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 4, selected Gustavo Campero’s contract and immediately put him on the 10-day IL, and designated catcher Omar Martinez for assignment.
- Nolan Schanuel returned to start at first base after a 10-game stint for left ankle tendinitis but said he is not at full strength and the club expects him to be limited when running.
- Jorge Soler went on the IL with a left oblique strain that has troubled him for about two weeks and could cost him several weeks of play, with manager Kurt Suzuki saying the team will re-evaluate him in a couple of weeks.
- The Angels added outfielder Gustavo Campero to the 40-man roster but he was placed on the IL with a reported broken hand, which removes the newly called-up option from immediate service.
- Catcher Omar Martinez was designated for assignment, Vaughn Grissom was held out of the lineup with left-side tightness but expects to avoid the IL, and the club will rotate DH starts among players such as Nick Madrigal and Mike Trout while Soler recovers.
