Rotowire
Mayfield (undisclosed) was placed on the minor-league 7-day injured list Wednesday.
It's not certain what prompted the IL move, though it should be noted that the journeyman infielder hasn't played since July 28. Mayfield had put together a modest five-game hitting streak with Triple-A Salt Lake prior to being placed on the injured list. He's slashed .186/.230/.271 with a home run, six RBI and a stolen base in 74 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Angels' Jack Mayfield: Recalled and starting Friday
Rotowire
Mayfield was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday and will bat ninth and play third base against the Mariners.
Mayfield was optioned Friday but is back less than a week later with Anthony Rendon shut down for season-ending wrist surgery. Mayfield has slashed .194/.239/.284 in 22 games this season, which doesn't make a case for regular playing time, but he could start at the hot corner against lefties such as Friday's starter Robbie Ray.

Angels' Jack Mayfield: Swipes first bag
Rotowire
Mayfield went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning loss to the Rays.
Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, Mayfield was able to steal his first bag of the year off the battery of Shane McClanahan and Francisco Mejia. The 31-year-old utility player has started three straight games, all in right, while Taylor Ward nursed a hamstring injury. Mayfield will be in the middle-infield mix as long as David Fletcher (hip) is on the shelf, though he faces a lot of competition from Tyler Wade, Andrew Velazquez and Luis Rengifo for at-bats.

Angels' Jack Mayfield: Makes third straight start
Rotowire
Mayfield will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
With Taylor Ward (hamstring) once again on the bench, Mayfield will pick up his third start in a row. The Angels are hopeful that Ward will be back in action after Thursday's off day, so Mayfield's run of regular playing time could soon come to an end.

Angels' Jack Mayfield: Returns to big club
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Mayfield from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Though he was optioned to Salt Lake on Friday, Mayfield is eligible to rejoin the Angels on short notice after the team placed Matt Duffy on the COVID-19 injured list prior to Sunday's game against the White Sox. Mayfield should be up with the Angels for the duration of Duffy's absence, but the former is unlikely to see meaningful at-bats while all of Anthony Rendon, David Fletcher, Andrew Velazquez and Tyler Wade are ahead of him in the pecking order for playing time at second base, third base or shortstop.

Angels' Jack Mayfield: Clubs solo homer Sunday
Rotowire
Mayfield went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Houston on Sunday.
Mayfield drove a Jose Urquidy pitch over the wall in center field in the second inning to provide the Angels' only run of the contest. The long ball was Mayfield's third straight hit to begin the campaign, though he went 0-for-3 in his remaining plate appearances. The 31-year-old was somewhat surprisingly plugged into the cleanup spot Sunday despite entering the contest with only 12 homers over 401 career big-league at-bats.

Angels' Jack Mayfield: Swipes two bags Sunday
Rotowire
Mayfield went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's 7-3 victory versus the Mariners.
Mayfield was one of three Angels to knock multiple hits in the season finale, and he plated the team's second run with an infield single in the first inning. The 31-year-old began the campaign in the minors and was DFA'd by both the Angels and Mariners during the season. However, he became a bright spot for Los Angeles after he latched back on with the club in mid-June, eventually claiming a role as the club's starting third baseman. Mayfield collected at least one hit in 11 of his final 12 contests, slashing .280/.315/.400 with a home run, 11 RBI and three stolen bases over that stretch.

Angels' Jack Mayfield: Swats grand slam
Rotowire
Mayfield went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.
Mayfield flipped a 2-1 deficit into a 5-2 lead with one swing of the bat after taking Corey Kluber yard in the fourth inning for a grand slam. Mayfield has nine homers in 43 games since being recalled by the Angels on July 6 but is slashing just .227/.281/.496 with 14 extra-base hits, 21 RBI, 16 runs scored, a steal and 7:31 BB:K. The 30-year-old likely had the biggest hit of his career Monday but has struggled to find success at the plate overall with limited action in the league since 2019.
