Miguel Sano Belts Three Homers Tuesday
Miguel Sano collected the first three-homer game of his career in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox. Sano put on a show, as he belted a couple of solo shots off of Lance Lynn before coming up with a two-run blast off of reliever Aaron Bummer that tied the game in the eighth inning. Each homer registered an exit velocity of 99 MPH or greater- two of them were at least 106 MPH, a great sign for Sano, as his exit velocity had dipped this year. Sano displayed power to all fields, as each homer was deposited into the left-center, center, and right-center seats. The slugger now has four homers in his last four games and is riding a four-game hitting streak- he's worth an add if he was dropped, especially for managers in need of power.

Miguel Sano Moving Rehab Assignment To Triple-A
Miguel Sano (knee) is scheduled to move his minor-league rehab assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday. Sano resumed his rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League last weekend after suffering a setback on May 26 when he burned himself with a heating pad. Now that the 31-year-old right-handed power hitter is at the Triple-A level, he could be nearing a return to the major-league roster if his knee holds up. Sano had a 30-homer season as recently as 2021 with the Minnesota Twins, but injuries have really set him back in recent seasons. In 21 games for the Halos before going on the injured list, Sano was hitting .262/.352/.361 with just one home run, five RBI and 27 strikeouts in 71 plate appearances. When he's healthy, he'll be a power option in AL-only leagues.

Miguel Sano Pulled From Rehab Assignment, Has No Timetable To Return
Miguel Sano (knee) was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment after the burn that he suffered from a heating pad did not heal. Sano took the protection off of a heating pad to make it hotter and burned himself, and he's now headed back to Anaheim with no timetable for a return. The 31-year-old corner infielder initially landed on the injured list with a left-knee injury and now has suffered a setback due to his burn. He'll now get some time to heal up before eventually restarting his minor-league rehab assignment. Before the injury, Sano was hitting .262 (16-for-61) but with just one home run and five RBI in his first year with the Angels. In his absence, veteran Luis Guillorme and Luis Rengifo have been splitting time at third base for the team.

Miguel Sano Still Bothered By Knee
Miguel Sano (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 1 with left-knee inflammation in his surgically repaired knee after leaving games early on April 24 and 26 with left-knee soreness. Sano has been taking ground balls, but his knee continues to bother him when he swings a bat. The 31-year-old is not going to be ready to return from the injured list anytime soon. Willie Calhoun could continue to see at-bats as the Halos' designated hitter until/if Sano is able to return. The Angels are pretty beat up on the infield, but they could be getting Luis Rengifo (illness) back this weekend to play third base regularly. Before injuring his surgically repaired knee, Sano was hitting .262 (16-for-61) with a homer and five RBI in his first 21 games with the organization. Sano didn't play at all in 2023.
