Angels' Samy Natera: Continues to rack up strikeouts
Natera recorded the save Sunday against the Rangers, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Natera was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and struck out each of the first two batters he faced before inducing a lineout from Justin Foscue to secure his third save. The left-hander has been dominant of late, allowing just one run across his last 15.2 innings while posting an outstanding 27:3 K:BB during that stretch. In 23 appearances since his June 5 call-up, Natera owns a 2.00 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB across 27 innings.

Angels' Ryan Johnson: Settles in after leadoff homer
Johnson did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.
Johnson served up a solo homer to Joc Pederson, the first batter of the game, to make it eight consecutive outings with a home run allowed. After the first inning, the right-hander held Texas hitless over the next three frames before Austin Wynns led off the fifth with a single, and Johnson was pulled one batter later. He's now limited opponents to one run in each of his two starts since being recalled Aug. 1, which could help him avoid another option to Triple-A Salt Lake when Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) returns from the injured list. Across 11 starts and three relief appearances this season, Johnson owns a 6.71 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 43:27 K:BB over 55 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to make another start Sunday against the Royals.

Angels' George Klassen: Handed another start
Klassen is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers at Angel Stadium.
After spending the past four months in the minors, Klassen was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake last week when the Angels had an opening in the rotation after dealing Jose Soriano to the Blue Jays prior to the trade deadline. Klassen made his third start of the season with the Angels on Friday in Miami, taking a no-decision while striking out three and allowing one earned run on four hits and four walks in four innings. Klassen may need a better showing during his upcoming turn through the rotation to ensure he receives additional starts with the Angels, who will soon get some reinforcement with Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) nearing a return from the 60-day injured list. Once Kikuchi is activated, the Angels will likely have only one rotation spot available for Klassen and Ryan Johnson.

Angels' Ryan Johnson: Set for another start
Johnson will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers at Angel Stadium.
The Angels optioned Johnson to Triple-A Salt Lake on Aug. 1, only to recall him three days later when the team had a couple of vacancies in the rotation following the trade deadline. Johnson ended up picking up his 10th start of the season Thursday, when he took a no-decision in Baltimore while allowing one run on three hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. Johnson will get another chance to start Tuesday, but he'll likely need to show improved efficiency in order to extend his stay in the rotation. Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) has made three rehab starts and looks close to coming back from the 60-day injured list, and his eventual return will likely result in either Johnson or George Klassen losing out on a rotation spot.

Angels' Mike Trout: Accounts for team's only run Monday
Trout went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.
Trout gave the Angels an early lead with a 418-foot solo homer to center field in the first inning. However, that was the only run his team scored despite Trout reaching three more times (all on walks). The long ball was just the second over 22 games since the All-Star break for the star outfielder, who is batting a meager .237 during that stretch. Still, Trout is up to 20 home runs on the campaign, marking the 11th time he's reached that mark in his storied career.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Logs quality start in no-decision
Detmers allowed one run on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.
Though Detmers issued four free passes, he had pretty good control overall, throwing 55 of 88 pitches for strikes. The southpaw didn't give up any extra-base hits and recorded his ninth quality start of the campaign. Detmers still hasn't earned a win since June 16, but this was a promising outing after he had posted a 5.05 ERA across his previous eight starts. He's lined up to make his next appearance at home versus Kansas City.

Angels' Sam Bachman: Resumes throwing
Bachman (forearm) played catch out to 60 feet Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Bachman landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right forearm radial nerve inflammation, though it's a positive sign that he's already been cleared to resume throwing. Assuming he checks out fine after tossing Monday, he'll likely be asked to throw again later in the week and could resume mound work in the near future.

Angels' Sebastian Rivero: Still battling hand issue
Rivero (hand) was returned from his rehab assignment Monday after suffering a setback, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Bollinger notes that Rivero's hand wasn't responding as well as the team had hoped while out on his rehab assignment. He'll likely be shut down for at least the next few days before being re-evaluated. Rivero has been on the shelf since June 10 after suffering a left hamate fracture.

Angels' Sebastian Rivero: Returns from rehab assignment
Rivero (hand) was returned from his rehab assignment Monday.
Rivero appeared in five minor-league games as part of his rehab assignment, going 1-for-14 in that span. It's unclear whether he's suffered a setback or is ready to return to action. If he's cleared to be taken off the IL, then Rivero would likely be optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake, given that the Angels carry three catchers on the 26-man roster in Tyler Heineman, Travis d'Arnaud and Moises Ballesteros.

Angels' Shaun Anderson: Lands on IL with shoulder injury
The Angels placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right shoulder inflammation.
The injury may have cropped during his last appearance Sunday, when he allowed six runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two in one inning of relief against the Marlins. A minimum stint on the IL would have Anderson back in action in late August, though he'll undergo more tests on his throwing shoulder to help shape a recovery timeline. The Angels selected Sammy Peralta's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Angels' Sammy Peralta: Promoted by Halos
The Angels selected Peralta's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Peralta signed a minor-league contract with the Angels in late June and will now work out the team's bullpen after Shaun Anderson (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The left-hander's numbers across 15 games with Salt Lake haven't been great, as he has a 9.37 ERA and 2.05 WHIP over 16.1 innings.

Angels' Anthony Scull: Back in action at Double-A
Scull (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-16 with two doubles, a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI in five games for Double-A Rocket City since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 31.
Scull was on the shelf for about three and a half weeks due to the unspecified injury. The 22-year-old outfielder is slashing .246/.295/.333 with one home run and one steal in 17 games at the Double-A level since being promoted from High-A Tri-City on June 9.

Angels' Jose Siri: Swats seventh homer
Siri went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's loss to Miami.
Siri logged two of the Angels' three extra-base hits, belting a solo homer to center field in the second inning and adding a double in the fourth. The veteran outfielder has played well when given the chance, as through eight games in August he's batting .353 (6-for-17) with a pair of homers and two doubles, albeit with a 50.0 percent strikeout rate. Siri is beginning to see more opportunities, starting four of the Angels' past six contests, including two matchups against right-handed starters.

Angels' Yusei Kikuchi: Struggles in latest rehab outing
Kikuchi (shoulder) struck out seven and allowed four runs on six hits and one walk across 3.1 innings in a rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Salt Lake.
Kikuchi was making the third start of minor-league rehab assignment as he works his way back from left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him on the shelf since May 3. The southpaw built up to 69 pitches Sunday, and though he appears to be stretched out enough to handle a traditional starting role, the Angels may want him to show improved results in the minors before adding him back to the big-league rotation. Kikuchi has looked shaky in all three of his rehab outings thus far, compiling a 15.75 ERA, 2.63 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB in eight innings.

Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Mixed results in loss
Rodriguez (3-5) took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and four walks with eight strikeouts over four innings.
Rodriguez allowed three runs in the first inning and struggled with his control, throwing just 47 of 83 pitches for strikes and issuing four walks. On the other hand, he generated an impressive 15 whiffs and tallied a season-high eight punchouts. It comes on the heels of consecutive two-run outings from the 26-year-old, who's been unable to register a win in five starts since the All-Star break. He'll take a 7.20 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 50:26 K across 55 innings this season into a home matchup with the Royals next weekend.
