The Angels announced that both outfielder and utility man have been placed on the injured list this evening. Soler is suffering from low back inflammation, and his stint on the shelf is retroactive to July 24. Taylor, meanwhile, is suffering from a left hand fracture that he tells comes with a roughly six-week timetable for return, which should allow him to return at some point in September. Outfielder and utility man were recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Soler and Taylor on the active roster. Soler mi sed two weeks due to back inflammation back in June, and since his return on July 1 hes hit an impre sive .262/.360/.595 in 50 plate appearances. That excellent work at the dish is all the more impre sive given that hes evidently been playing at le Danny Manning Jersey s than perfect health, given that he was pulled from Wednesdays game early due to his back and had not played since. Its not clear exactly how long the Angels expect the slugger to be out, but his production will be sorely mi sed on a team thats four games under .500 and 4.5 games out of a Wild Card spot, leaving them in a position where every game counts ahead of the trade deadline next week. As for Taylor, his broken hand is also a recurrence of a previous injury. He fractured his hand back in June and ended up mi sing around six weeks due to the i sue. He finally returned to action on Monday, but got into just five games before a diving catch in the outfield yesterday caused him to re-fracture his hand, leaving him to start all over again with another six weeks of recovery. Taylor has appeared in just 43 games this year between the Dodgers and Angels, only 15 of which have been with the Halos. Hes posted a decent 87 wRC+ in that sample size and has looked the part of a viable and versatile bench option, but its unclear how much of an opportunity hell get to impact the club down the stretch at this point, with even a fairly optimistic timeline having him return in the seasons final weeks. Filling in for Soler and Taylor on the roster are Campero and Kingery. Campero, 27, has been a fill-in outfielder for Anaheim in each of the past two seasons. A .192/.259/.295 hitter acro s 31 games in his big league career, hes unlikely to provide much offense for the club but can cover all three outfield spots and even has some experience catching, although hes converted almost exclusively to work in the outfield at this point. As for Kingery, the utility man appeared in 13 games with the Halos earlier this year. it was his first big league work since 2022, but he hit a paltry .160/.222/.200 in that time and has struggled mightily at Triple-A this year as well. His wRC+ in the Pacific Coast League is a ghastly 69 this year, meaning hes been 31% worse than average even by the standards of the clubs Salt Lake affiliate. Still, he can offer some speed and versatility off the bench, with 25 steals at Triple-A for the Phillies just last year. Mfiondu Kabengele Jersey
