Angels' Johnny Cueto: Will start Wednesday
Rotowire
The Angels will select Cueto's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Wednesday's game against the Royals, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Since signing a minor-league deal with the Angels on July 20, Cueto has posted a 3.09 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 23.1 innings across four starts with Triple-A Salt Lake. While those numbers are a significant improvement over his time with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate (5.92 ERA, 1.24 WHIP), the 38-year-old righty shouldn't be viewed as a reliable streaming option as he makes his season debut against a Royals offense that has scored the sixth-most runs in the majors (610).

Angels' Zach Neto: Hits homer in loss
Rotowire
Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Royals.
Neto brought the Angels to within two runs with his eighth-inning solo blast, but that was the final score tallied by either team. The shortstop went on a seven-game heater earlier in the month during which he batted .448 with four homers and 14 RBI, but he's cooled off since then with a .179 average and one homer along with 12 strikeouts over his subsequent seven contests. Overall, Neto is slashing .261/.325/.459 with 18 long balls, 62 RBI, 55 runs and 22 stolen bases over 121 contests on the campaign.

Angels' Carson Fulmer: Saddled with fourth loss
Rotowire
Fulmer (0-4) took the loss Monday at Kansas City, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.
After tossing 4.2 shutout innings for a no-decision in his Angels rotation debut July 14, the 30-year-old right-hander has now collected four losses in his last six outings. As a starting pitcher this season, Fulmer sports a 4.78 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 29:13 K:BB across 28 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Blue Jays in Toronto this weekend.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Logs impressive minor-league outing
Rotowire
Detmers allowed one run on three hits and two walks over eight innings while striking out 11 batters in his start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Detmers has been with Salt Lake since early June following a string of poor starts in the majors. His 11-punchout performance Friday was his third double-digit strikeout effort over 12 starts in the minors, and he's racked up an impressive 83 punchouts over 65 innings during that span. On the flip side, Detmers has also posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, so he hasn't made the strongest case for a return to the majors. The Angels placed starter Jose Soriano on the injured list Saturday due to arm fatigue and will need a replacement for his spot in the rotation, but Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com reports that veteran hurler Johnny Cueto will be called up from Triple-A to fill the opening rather than Detmers.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Returns to lineup
Rotowire
Rendon (elbow) will start at third base and bat fifth in Monday's game in Kansas City, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Rendon sat out the previous two contests with a sore right elbow as a result of a hit-by-pitch, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The veteran third baseman is slashing a dreadful .235/.312/.281 for the Halos this season.

Angels' Jack Kochanowicz: Little run support in loss
Rotowire
Kochanowicz (1-3) took the loss Sunday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks in six innings. He did not strike out a batter.
Kochanowicz nearly escaped the first inning clean, but Atlanta was able to scratch a run across. They tacked on a second when Ramon Laureano took him deep to open up the fourth to make it a 2-0 game. He's given the Angels some excellent length in his two recent starts, though he did post a 2:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings, so there hasn't been much swing-and-miss with his pitches. He's also given up a home run in all four of his starts thus far. The 23-year-old owns a 6.53 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 7:7 K:BB in 20.2 innings. He lines up for a road start against the Blue Jays his next time taking the mound.

Angels' Johnny Cueto: Headed back to majors
Rotowire
The Angels are expected to select Cueto's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake during the upcoming week, Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com reports.
Cueto has been pitching with Salt Lake since signing a minor-league deal with the Angels on July 20. Through four starts, he's maintained a 3.09 ERA and 1.37 WHIP while working at least five innings on each occasion. He should slot into the rotation while Jose Soriano (arm) is on the shelf. Wednesday's game in Kansas City looks to be the first chance Cueto will have to make a start in Soriano's stead.

Angels' Jose Cisnero: DFA'd by Halos
Rotowire
The Angels designated Cisnero for assignment Sunday.
Cisnero was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday after missing nearly four months due to shoulder inflammation, and he'll lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters after one appearance. The 35-year-old has a 6.89 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings this season.

Angels' Victor Mederos: Called up by Halos
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Mederos from High-A Tri City on Sunday.
Mederos spent most of the campaign in Double-A Rocket City's starting rotation, but he moved to Tri City for his last outing. The right-hander hasn't pitched well at either level, as he allowed six runs at High-A and has a 6.60 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 69:48 K:BB across 88.2 innings at Double-A. He'll likely serve as a long-relief option while he's up with the big club.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Absence continuing Sunday
Rotowire
Rendon (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The 34-year-old will sit for the second straight game after being hit by a pitch on the right elbow Friday. Rendon isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list, but he may need another day or two before rejoining the lineup. Brandon Drury will shift to the hot corner Sunday while Michael Stefanic receives a start at second base.

Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Records three hits Saturday
Rotowire
Schanuel went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday.
Schanuel scored two of the Angels' three runs in the blowout loss. The first baseman notched his second double is as many games after registering just one extra-base hit over his previous 13 contests. After gaining some fantasy traction by hitting .316 in July, Schanuel's batting average stands at .218 through 14 games in August.

Angels' Griffin Canning: Beat up in loss
Rotowire
Canning (4-11) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.1 innings while striking out three.
Canning got himself into trouble right out of the gate, allowing three consecutive hits to open the contest, including a three-run shot off the bat of Marcell Ozuna. The right-hander would surrender another run in the second, along with a second long ball in the fifth, marking the first time he's coughed up multiple homers since June 13 against the Diamondbacks. The seven runs charged to Canning on Saturday also marked a season high, and he's now lost three of his last four decisions (spanning eight starts).

Angels' Matthew Lugo: Shut down with apparent hand injury
Rotowire
Triple-A Salt Lake transferred Lugo from its 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday while he recovers from an apparent hand injury, Jared Tims of TalkinHalos.com reports.
The Angels aren't required to shed light on Lugo's injury, but Tims suggests that the outfielder hurt his thumb while trying to make a defensive play in his organizational debut Aug. 2. Lugo, whom the Angels acquired from the Red Sox ahead of the trade deadline, went 2-for-5 with a home run and a double in his lone game for Salt Lake and will now be shut down for the season as a result of moving to the 60-day IL.
