Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (leg) and outfielder Jordyn Adams (knee) are both out of the lineup on Thursday for the series finale against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. Schanuel fouled a ball of his right lower leg in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox and will miss at least one day of action as a result. The 22-year-old is considered day-to-day for now and will be hoping to play at some point in the final weekend series of the year against the division-rival Texas Rangers. Adams, meanwhile, has been out for a whole week with soreness in his right knee. At this point with just three games remaining, we may not see the 24-year-old again in 2024. Brandon Drury is at first base and batting cleanup, while Gustavo Camero is in right field and is batting seventh for the Halos on Thursday against White Sox right-hander Chris Flexen.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jordyn Adams (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Adams will now miss his fifth game in a row due to lingering right knee soreness. At this point it wouldn't be shocking to see the Angels shut down Adams for the rest of the season. Gustavo Campero will cover right field and bat eighth against right-hander Davis Martin. Campero has been decent through his first eight big league games but doesn't have a strong enough track record to warrant streaming on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jordyn Adams (knee) will miss his third straight game on Sunday afternoon due to knee soreness. As a result, Gustavo Campero will cover right field and bat in the eight-hole. Before the injury, Adams was carrying a .258/.324/.355 slash line across his previous nine games. Adams was promoted to the big leagues earlier in September and was beginning to find his footing at the top level before the minor injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the Los Angeles starting nine next week, as Adams could remain sidelined. Campero has posted a solid .292 average through his first seven games at the major-league level, but it is best to fade him in DFS while facing Houston right-hander Spencer Arrighetti, who has held a 2.82 ERA since Aug. 1.
Angels Reassign Jordyn Adams, Others To Minor League Camp
The Los Angeles Angels have reassigned two of the team's top five prospects, outfielder Jordyn Adams and shortstop Jeremiah Jackson, to minor league camp. Also headed to minor league camp are Davis Daniel, Denny Brady, Jack Kruger, Keinner Pina, Harrison Wenson, Brennan Lund and Livan Soto. The 21-year-old Adams is the team's No. 3 prospect. He had a rough spring, going just 1-for-13 with a home run and seven strikeouts. Jackson, who is 20 years old and the team's No. 5 prospect, went hitless in five at-bats.
Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect Jordyn Adams broke out of his 0-for-5 start to the spring with a three-run home run on Monday. The 21-year-old's dinger came against veteran MLB reliever Brad Boxberger. Adams, the 17th overall pick from the 2018 draft, has yet to play above A-ball. He's mostly known for having blazing speed but started to hit for more power at the club's alternate training site in 2020. If the trend continues, Adams becomes an intriguing power/speed threat but is a step or two behind the club's other top outfield prospects in Jo Adell and Brandon Marsh. He's an intriguing dynasty baseball sleeper to monitor closely in 2021.
