Brandon Drury News
Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (hamstring) will only be available to pinch hit on Wednesday and Thursday to wrap up a series against the Tampa Bay Rays, according to manager Ron Washington. The Angels are being cautious with his left-hamstring tightness on the turf at Tropicana Field. The 31-year-old veteran infielder will miss his third straight start on Thursday, but there's a chance he could be back in there for the start of a series on Friday in Cincinnati against the Reds. In the meantime, expect Luis Rengifo to get another start at the keystone on Thursday in Tampa. Drury has gotten off to a slow start offensively for the Halos in 2024, going 11-for-54 (.204) with only one home run, three RBI and five runs scored in his first 15 games. It sounds like he should avoid a trip to the injured list.
Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (hamstring) is still out of the team's starting lineup on Wednesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Luis Rengifo will start at second base again and bat seventh against Rays right-hander Zack Littell. This will be Drury's second straight game on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury. The 31-year-old said he was available off the bench on Tuesday, so it doesn't sound like a very serious injury. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues will need to check back on Thursday to see if Drury is able to return for the series finale with the Rays. Rengifo doesn't have a hit in three career at-bats against Littell and is a low-cost, low-upside DFS play near the bottom of the Angels' lineup. In his first 42 plate appearances in 2024 Rengifo has 10 hits, no homers, three RBI and four stolen bases.
Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (hamstring) and first baseman Nolan Schanuel are both out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Drury should be considered day-to-day for now after leaving Monday night's win with a hamstring injury. If the 31-year-old, who has gone just 11-for-54 (.204) in the early going with one homer, ends up going on the injured list, Luis Rengifo would benefit from everyday playing time at the keystone. Rengifo is at second and batting seventh on Tuesday, while Miguel Sano is at first base and hitting cleanup against Rays right-hander Aaron Civale. Schanuel returned from a testicular contusion on Monday but is getting another day off on Tuesday. Schanuel is struggling in his first full big-league season with just four hits (one homer) in his first 42 at-bats in 2024. UPDATE: Drury said he'll be available off the bench on Tuesday.

After a so-so career throughout his twenties, Brandon Drury had a breakout in 2022. He backed it up in 2023 and has turned himself into a viable fantasy option. Despite playing for three different organizations over the last two seasons, Drury put up near identical numbers. Over the last two years, he's averaged 27 homers, 85 RBI, 74 runs and one stolen base while hitting .262/.313/.495. He's only played 263 games over the last two seasons having missed a month with a shoulder injury in 2023. Otherwise, we'd be looking at a 30+ homer player in 2023 and would need to use a middle-round draft pick rather than a later one, as you do now. The departure of Shohei Ohtani has left a huge hole in the Angels lineup. But it does still contain Mike Trout and some interesting younger hitters so Drury should be able to help in all categories except steals. He's eligible at first and second base in most formats making him the perfect late-round bat that can fill in as your middle or corner infielder. His numbers over the last two years aren't anything fancy, but Drury's been consistently productive and should be again in 2024.
