Keston Hiura In Starting Lineup For Angels
5 months agoLos Angeles Angels infielder Keston Hiura got the start as the designated hitter and was batting eighth for the start of Friday's series opener at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Justin Steele. Hiura, who was the bees knees at Triple-A Salt Lake, returns to the big leagues to take the roster spot of infielder Luis Rengifo (wrist), who was put on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 27-year-old former Brewers prospect hasn't played in the big leagues since 2022 but could get some run in Anaheim, at least against left-handed pitchers. Kiura has always been known for his power mostly, so fantasy managers in need of it in AL-only leagues may want to take a look. The former ninth overall pick by Milwaukee in 2017 out of the University of California at Irvine hit .270/.346/.536 with 18 home runs and 45 RBI in 68 games at two different Triple-A levels before his call-up.
