Bryce

Teodosio

Teodosio gets the bump with the Angels selecting the contract of Jose Siri. The 26-year-old will likely be back as a bench option for Los Angeles before the season concludes.

Teodosio is easily the Angels’ best center fielder, but with Mike Trout most comfortable in the middle, Teodosio has been starting in left when both play. While he’s definitely not known for his bat, he’s hit a respectable .278/.333/.333 with four steals in 40 plate appearances. Most likely, he’s going to be needed in center at some point during the season.

Schanuel will take a breather with southpaw Ryan Weathers on the bump for the Angels. It’ll be Vaughn Grissom handling the colder corner and hitting fifth in Schanuel’s absence. Josh Lowe also gets the evening off with Bryce Teodosio getting the nod in left and hitting ninth.

Trout will get some extra time off to rest and recover after being hit by a pitch on the left hand during Sunday’s series finale against the Mariners. The positive news for fantasy managers is that initial X-rays came back negative for any fractures and he appears to have avoided serious injury. There should be a definitive update on his status shortly, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Bryce Teodosio handling center field on Monday night in his absence.

This is the first time that the Angels have faced a left-handed starter this season, and both Nolan Schanuel and Josh Lowe are on the bench. That will be something to monitor as the season goes on. Jeimer Candelario will start at first base and bat seventh, while Bryce Teodosio will play left field and bat ninth.

Teodosio’s 394-foot homer gave the Angels their only runs off Cole Ragans. It came in his 148th career plate appearance, and he now has a .201/.236/.302 line to date. That’s unfortunate, because he really is an excellent center fielder. However, the combination of very little power and poor plate discipline would seem to make him a poor use of a major league roster spot.

Teodosio cleared concussion protocol after hitting his head on the center-field wall during Friday’s contest. The 26-year-old rookie is back in center field and batting ninth on Sunday afternoon following a brief one-game absence.

Teodosio has managed to avoid a trip to the injured list for now following an early exit from Friday’s contest after hitting his head on the center-field wall. The 26-year-old rookie outfielder is presumably day-to-day for now. There should be some additional clarity on his status at some point this weekend. It’ll be Jo Adell moving over to cover center field in his absence.

The 26-year-old outfielder hit his head on the wall in center field while making a nice catch in the ballgame. He stayed in the game for another couple of innings but was ultimately pulled. He’ll probably have to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s cleared to return to action.

Teodosio, called up Saturday, went 1-for-12 in five games last season and was 0-for-4 in two games this season before a fine performance tonight. He’s probably going to settle in as a quad-A guy, since he hasn’t ever hit the ball hard consistently. However, he is an excellent basestealer, so if ever did manage to take a step forward, he’d quickly become interesting in fantasy leagues.
