The Angels placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

The veteran left-hander delivered five scoreless frames Friday in Houston, but that could end up being his final start of the campaign. Anderson will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 14, but oblique injuries often require longer than 15 days of recovery time. If the 35-year-old is unable to return to the mound in 2025, he'll finish the campaign with a 4.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 104:57 K:BB across 136.1 innings.

Teodosio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Teodosio has been serving as the Angels' everyday center fielder for much of August, but he'll sit for the series finale in Houston after starting 18 straight games and slashing a poor .170/.237/.245 with zero home runs and one stolen base. Jo Adell will slide over from his usual spot in right field to cover center field.

India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The Royals will hold India out of the lineup for the second day in a row while he's stuck in a 5-for-32 slump. Michael Massey will step in for India at the keystone.

Urena agreed to a major-league contract with the Angels on Sunday.

The right-hander elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Twins last week, but he was able to find another home in the majors. Urena had made 13 appearances (five starts) with four different MLB clubs this season and has a 5.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB over 36 innings. After placing Tyler Anderson (oblique) on the injured list Sunday and optioning Jack Kochanowicz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, the Angels have two open spots in the rotation, and Urena is a good bet to fill one of those slots during the team's upcoming series in Kansas City.

Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Dingler appears to be getting a routine breather as the Tigers close out their series in Kansas City. Jake Rogers will step in behind the plate and will form a battery with starting pitcher Tarik Skubal.

Mead will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Mead will be making his fourth consecutive start after going 2-for-11 with a double and two runs over the previous three contests. The 24-year-old should be in line for a near-everyday role at the hot corner while Miguel Vargas (hand) is on the injured list.

Kavadas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Kavadas started the previous two games but will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale in Houston. Oswald Peraza is starting at first base and batting ninth against Astros righty Hunter Brown.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

After starting six straight games and going 4-for-22 with a solo home run, Baldwin will get a breather. Michael Taylor will spell Baldwin in center field.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Benintendi will receive a routine breather for the series finale after he had started in each of the last five games. Will Robertson will enter the lineup in Benintendi's stead, starting in left field while batting seventh.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe started the previous three games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-11 with a walk and one run. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Jose Soriano.
