Taylor Ward Stats

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward and relievers Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera were all placed on the injured list on Friday ahead of the team's weekend series in Toronto against the Blue Jays. All three players won't travel to Canada because of their vaccination status. It's bad timing for Ward, who has six hits (one homer) and two RBI in his last three games to stop a slump that he's been going through in August. With Ward away from the team, Ryan Aguilar is getting the nod in right field and will hit eighth on Friday against Blue Jays right-hander Mitch White. Aguilar, 27, will be making his major league debut against Toronto. In 88 games at Double-A Rocket City this year, he's hit .280/.427/.517 with 15 long balls, 48 RBI, 55 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in the team's 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. Ward has mostly been cold in the month of July, but he's recently showed some signs of breaking out his slump, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues may want to throw him into their lineups moving forward. The 28-year-old is hitting just .216 (19-for-88) in August, but he does have four home runs, 11 RBI and six runs scored in 23 games played. Ward hasn't been bad in 2022, slashing .261/.351/.447 with 17 home runs, 46 RBI, 54 runs scored and three stolen bases in 427 plate appearances over 101 games for the Halos.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (leg) was pulled for a pinch runner during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Interim manager Phil Nevin told reporters that Ward is fine and he was dealing with leg cramps. It sounds like the Angels were being cautious since they were blowing out the Braves anyway. Fantasy managers should consider Ward day-to-day, but he is expected to play during Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals.
