Taylor Ward Stats

The Los Angeles Angels optioned outfielder Taylor Ward to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday. He will return to the minors, and veteran outfielder Justin Upton (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Ward sat in two of the last five games but played well since being called up. The Angels' top prospect went 5-for-11 with a homer, two doubles, and three RBI over his previous four games. Ward can be dropped in redraft leagues as Upton will regain his role as the team's primary left fielder. The 33-year-old is slashing .242/.331/.471 with 14 homers, 32 RBI, and 40 runs scored across 280 plate appearances in 2021.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) and outfielder Taylor Ward (finger) will be out of the lineup on Monday against the Boston Red Sox, manager Joe Maddon said. Rendon left during the sixth inning of Sunday's 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles with left hamstring tightness. Rendon has been sidelined multiple times this season with different ailments and is only hitting .240/.329/.382 with six home runs and 34 RBI in 58 games. However, he has been heating up recently, hitting .304/.500/.565 with a home run in his last seven games. Ward was also injured Sunday and like Rendon, he is considered day-to-day.
