The Angels selected Fletcher's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With Luis Rengifo (biceps) headed for the 60-day injured list, Fletcher will return to the active roster after being outrighted to Triple-A in July. The 29-year-old has slashed .213/.245/.298 across 49 plate appearances in the majors this year, and he'll likely serve as infield depth to close out the season.

Fletcher was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels made a slew of roster moves, and they are bringing Michael Stefanic and Trey Cabbage up from Triple-A to take the place of Fletcher and Anthony Rendon (shin contusion). Fletcher scored a five-year $24.5 million extension in April of 2021, and he has logged a .258/.292/.325 slash line with five home runs in 237 games over the past three seasons.

Fletcher will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Following Zach Neto's (oblique) placement on the injured list June 15, Andrew Velazquez received the first look as the Angels' new everyday shortstop, but that role appears to have since fallen to Fletcher. After producing a .742 OPS with six RBI and a run scored since his June 24 call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake, Fletcher will pick up his eighth start at shortstop Sunday in a nine-game stretch.

Fletcher went 4-for-6 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 25-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher hit just .125 over his first eight games this season before he was sent to Triple-A Salt Lake. He tripled his season hit total with Saturday's massive game, though it comes with a big Coors Field caveat. He's also up to six RBI through 22 plate appearances. The Angels have added Eduardo Escobar and Mike Moustakas in trades over the last two days, so Fletcher is unlikely to be more than a light-hitting and versatile infield depth option during this stint in the majors. His best path to playing time is at shortstop while Zach Neto (oblique) is on the injured list.

The Angels selected Fletcher's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher has been white-hot in Triple-A as of late, slashing an absurd .530/.551/.697 over the course of his 15-game hitting streak. Fletcher failed to produce during his brief MLB stint at the beginning of April, but his momentum from Triple-A could carry over into the bigs as he offers additional depth to the Angels' infield.

Fletcher (personal) was activated from the bereavement list by Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old landed on the bereavement list Tuesday but is now back with the Bees after spending a few days with his family. Fletcher is in the midst of a 10-game hit streak with Salt Lake, which includes eight multi-hit performances, and has a .365/.422/.442 slash line in 173 plate appearances with the affiliate.

Fletcher (personal) was placed on the minor-league bereavement list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher will be away from the team for up to a week as he deals with a family matter. The 29-year-old has impressed with Triple-A Salt Lake in 2023, recording a .365 average with nine extra-base hits, including a homer, over 156 at-bats in 38 contests. Andrew Velazquez (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday, which will help help cushion Fletcher's absence in Salt Lake's lineup.

Fletcher left Tuesday's game for Triple-A Salt Lake with hamstring tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was some thought that Fletcher might have been pulled in anticipation of a return to the Los Angeles roster, but instead the shortstop exited with the hamstring injury. Fletcher should be considered day-to-day, and he would have to be added back to the 40-man roster if the Angels were to bring him back to the active roster this summer.

Fletcher was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake by the Angels on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher is now off the 40-man roster. The infielder was sent down to Salt Lake to make room for top prospect Zach Neto on Saturday, and the Angels are still on the hook for the remainder of the five-year, $24.5 million extension he signed with the team in April 0f 2021.

Fletcher was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Salt Lake.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher is in the middle of a five-year extension and earning $6 million this season, but the Angels will try to get him right on the farm after he went just 2-for-16 (.125) out of the gate this year. Zach Neto has been called up all the way from Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move.
