Schanuel (knee) is in the Angels' lineup Tuesday at first base and is batting second.
Schanuel missed Sunday's rubber match in Minnesota due to a right knee bruise. He suffered the injury when he fouled a pitch off his knee, which forced him to depart Saturday's game early. The 23-year-old will resume his first-base duties Tuesday after J.D. Davis took over for Sunday's game and following the Angels' off day Monday.

Angels' J.D. Davis: Pushed off 40-man
Rotowire
The Angels designated Davis for assignment Tuesday.
Since joining the active roster April 10, Davis has gone just 1-for-9 with three strikeouts while appearing in only five games. His lack of success and playing time has now caused him to lose his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Gustavo Campero, who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
The Angels recalled Campero from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Campero got his first taste of MLB action at the end of last season, going 11-for-46 with six RBI over 13 games. He's gotten off to a better start in the minors this year with a .333/.397/.472 slash line alongside 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and seven steals. The 27-year-old will now come up to give the Angels some additional outfield depth, replacing J.D. Davis on the active roster.

Angels' Carl Edwards: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels outrighted Edwards to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Edwards was designated for assignment Saturday after struggling out of the Angels bullpen to begin the 2025 campaign. He'll now report to the club's Triple-A affiliate after failing to draw interest on the waiver wire.
Soriano (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.
Soriano held Minnesota to just one run through his first five innings, though he'd allow the first three men to reach in the sixth, ultimately resulting in three more runs (two earned) on his final line. Soriano has dropped three consecutive outings after starting the year 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in his first three starts. His ERA now sits at 4.50 through six starts (34 innings) with a 1.47 WHIP and 26:15 K:BB. Soriano currently lines up to face the Tigers at home in his next start.
Schanuel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins after being diagnosed with a right knee bruise, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
The 23-year-old departed Saturday's contest after fouling a pitch off his knee, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury and is considered day-to-day. J.D. Davis is starting at first base Sunday in place of Schanuel, who will have a team off day Monday to aid in his recovery before Tuesday's series opener in Seattle.

Angels' Jorge Soler: Receiving first day off
Rotowire
Soler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Soler started the Angels' first 26 games of the season, but he'll finally take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-13 in the previous three contests. Logan O'Hoppe will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Travis d'Arnaud starts behind the plate in the series finale.
Kikuchi (0-4) took the loss against the Twins on Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits and four walks over two innings. He did not strike out a batter.
Kikuchi yielded three runs in the first frame off six singles (including four straight to start the game) and a walk. The veteran southpaw gave up another run in the second inning and was lifted ahead of the third after tossing 66 pitches (37 strikes) and generating just three whiffs. Saturday's outing was a stark contrast to his previous start against the Giants on April 20, when he tossed 5.1 innings without giving up an earned run. Kikuchi is now up to a 4.31 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 31.1 innings, and his 18 walks is tied with Carlos Rodon for second most in the American League behind Charlie Morton (20).

Angels' Zach Neto: Drives in Halos' lone run
Rotowire
Neto went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.
Neto gave the Angels their only run of the game when he took Simeon Woods Richardson deep to left-center field in the third inning for a solo home run. Neto has recorded three hits in two of his last three games, and over that span he has gone 7-for-13 with two solo home runs.
Schanuel was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins after fouling a ball off his right knee, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Schanuel needed assistance getting off the field after injuring himself in the fourth inning. The team has labeled his injury as a contusion, but he may need additional testing to determine if there is any structural damage as a result of the incident. J.D. Davis replaced Schanuel at first base Saturday.
