Nolan Schanuel Placed on Injured List With Ankle Inflammation
The Los Angeles Angels announced on Wednesday that they placed infielder Nolan Schanuel (ankle) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 24) with left-ankle inflammation and selected the contract of infielder Nick Madrigal from the minors in a corresponding move. Schanuel initially suffered what was being called a calf injury on Saturday against the Texas Rangers, and now he'll be forced to miss at least the next 10 days. Vaughn Grissom, who slugged a grand slam in Tuesday's win over the Detroit Tigers, is the most likely candidate to see most of the starts at first base for the Halos with Schanuel sidelined. Because he's a below-average power guy at the first base position, the left-handed-hitting Schanuel isn't much of a fantasy option in mixed leagues. The former 11th overall pick in 2023 out of Florida Atlantic has hit .262 (50-for-191) on the season with only four home runs, 24 RBI, and 18 runs scored, along with a weak .313 on-base percentage for the last-place Angels. Schanuel is only rostered in 12% of Yahoo leagues.
