Max Stassi was moved from the injured list to the restricted list. The hips are apparently fine but the family medical emergency is not going away. Nobody is saying much but here is a little more detail. This seems to mitigate the disaster of the Angels not getting under the luxury tax boundary. The Angels reinstated Matt Thaiss from the injured list and optioned Andrew Velazquez down to Triple-A. They also called up Jimmy Herget, Kolton Ingram, Gerardo Reyes, Michael Stefanic, Andrew Wantz, and Kyren Paris. Shohei Ohtani made the 40/20 club again. He hasn’t yet ruled out Tommy John surgery but he’s making the best use of his time right now. He might get the surgery pretty soon, though. The White Sox won’t be pursuing him. I doubt if Shohei Ohtani cares about the White Sox anyway.
Hunter Renfroe is also making good use of his time with walk off victories and the like.
