Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in a 7-1 win against the Mariners in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher launched a two-run homer to left field off Seattle starter Chris Flexen in the sixth inning and singled home another run in the ninth. The 28-year-old had sat out the last two games due to a foot injury on the heels of missing over two months as a result of a hip injury but appears to be healthy now. Fletcher is slashing .220/.270/.424 with two long balls, six runs and eight RBI in 21 contests. He has yet to attempt a stolen base after recording 15 thefts last year.

Fletcher (foot) is in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher injured his foot when he was struck by a pitch in Thursday's game, and he wound up sitting out Friday's contest and the first game of the twin bill. He is ready to return to action, though, and will play shortstop and hit seventh Saturday night.

Fletcher (foot) remains on the bench for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Previous reports indicated that Fletcher would return from his sore foot Saturday, but that evidently won't be happening until the nightcap. Luis Rengifo will be the second baseman in the afternoon contest.

Fletcher is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher is 5-for-17 with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and three runs in five games since returning from the injured list, and he'll take a seat Sunday for the third time in the Angels' past five contests. Luis Rengifo and Andrew Velazquez will start at second base and shortstop Thursday.

Fletcher went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher has been hurt most of the season, so Tuesday was only his 18th game. He led off the home half of the first inning with a solo shot to left field, giving the Angels an early lead that they did not relinquish. The long ball was Fletcher's first of the season, and he's slashing a meager .212/.255/.385 over 55 plate appearances. However, he's shown promising signs since returning from the injured list, going 5-for-14 with three extra-base hits across four games.

Fletcher is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher will cede his spot in the middle infield to Andrew Velazquez for the second game in a row, despite having gone 4-for-10 with two doubles in his first three contests since returning from the 60-day injured list. Considering Velazquez has produced a lowly .487 OPS over 257 plate appearances this season, Fletcher looks like the better bet to ultimately emerge as the preferred option in the middle infield alongside Luis Rengifo.

EDGE Analysis
Fletcher started the last two games and went 2-for-7 with a double and a strikeout. Luis Rengifo is shifting to second base while Andrew Velazquez starts at shortstop.

Fletcher (hip) went 1-for-3 with a double in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher missed almost three months after undergoing adductor muscle surgery on both legs. He started at second base and moved to shortstop mid-game as part of a defensive realignment. The 28-year-old infielder is hitting .171 in 15 games this year, adding three doubles, a triple, two RBI and two runs scored. He may be eased back into action, but it's likely he takes on a fairly regular role within the next week.
