Taylor Ward Stats

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.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (hamstring) told reporters that he expects to be activated off the injured list on Tuesday. Ward landed on the injured list after injuring his hamstring while attempting a diving catch in the outfield last week. If he is able to return on Tuesday, it will mark a minimum 10-day stay on the IL for the 28-year-old outfielder. Ward's return to the fold would likely push Jo Adell back to Triple-A Salt Lake. Ward is off to an excellent start in 2022, hitting .333 with 10 homers, 30 runs, 26 RBI, and a steal.

The Los Angeles Angels placed outfielder Taylor Ward (hamstring) on the injured list with a right hamstring strain on Sunday and recalled outfielder Jo Adell from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Ward suffered the injury on Friday. It remains to be seen how long he'll need before returning to the Halos outfield. Before the injury, the 28-year-old had been excellent with a .333/.443/.644 slash line, a 1.087 OPS, 10 home runs, 26 RBI, 30 runs scored and one stolen base in 158 plate appearances over 38 games. Juan Lagares played right field on Saturday, but Adell should see most of the starts there now that he's back with the club. Adell has struggled to a .207 average with 10 homers, 41 RBI and three steals in 92 games over the last three seasons with the Angels, and he hit only .222/.341/.597 with a .938 OPS, six homers and 15 RBI in 19 games with Salt Lake. Adell is worth adding in deep mixed leagues for his power/speed upside.
