Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles Friday in a 5-1 win against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher made his return to the club Friday after missing over two weeks due to a hip injury. He started at shortstop before shifting over to second base later in the contest. Fletcher's doubles were his first of the season, and prior to Friday he hadn't registered a hit since Opening Day. Even with the multi-hit effort, he's batting only .176 through 17 plate appearances this season.

Fletcher (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Friday's game against the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher participated in an extensive on-field workout Thursday, and the Angels ultimately deemed him healthy enough to return to action for Friday's series opener in Chicago. The 27-year-old is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Friday, and he's in line to serve as the Angels' everyday shortstop now that he's been activated.

Fletcher (hip) went through an extensive on-field workout Thursday and could be activated in advance of Friday's series opener with the White Sox in Chicago, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Joe Maddon suggested just one day ago that Fletcher still wasn't running at 100 percent following a recent four-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake, but the 27-year-old may have assuaged some of the concern about his health after Thursday's workout. The Angels will likely re-evaluate Fletcher early Friday before deciding whether to include him in the lineup later that night, or to wait another day or two prior to activating him from the 10-day injured list. Whenever Fletcher is back in action, he's expected to take back everyday duties at shortstop from Andrew Velazquez.

Fletcher (hip) joined the Angels on Wednesday to be evaluated and won't be activated from the injured list in the immediate future, as manager Joe Maddon indicated the infielder may not be running at 100 percent, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has played in four games at Triple-A Salt Lake since beginning his rehab assignment late last week, but he's apparently still having some issues with his hip. Maddon said Fletcher hasn't suffered a setback, but the ongoing problems could delay his return from the injured list.

Angels athletic trainer Mike Frostad said Fletcher (hip) will be medically cleared to return from the 10-day injured list following his rehab game Sunday with Triple-A Salt Lake, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Angels' medical team giving Fletcher the green light to rejoin the big club, it'll be up to Los Angeles' front office to decide whether to bring the 27-year-old back from the IL in advance of Monday's series opener with the Guardians. Fletcher, who has been out of the Angels lineup since April 11 with a left hip strain, went hitless with a walk over eight at-bats during his first two rehab games for Salt Lake.

Fletcher (hip) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher has spent the minimum 10 days on the injured list with his strained left hip, but he'll miss at least a bit more time. Given the relatively brief length of his absence, he's unlikely to need a long rehab assignment, though the Angels have yet to specify exactly when he's expected to return.

Fletcher (hip) could be ready soon after the Angels return home Friday, though he may need a rehab assignment, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher has been out for nearly a week with a strained left hip. It looks as though he could be ready for game action within the next week, but his first game action may not come at the major-league level. Andrew Velazquez has handled shortstop in his absence.

Fletcher (hip) isn't traveling with the Angels on their current road trip and does not currently have a timetable for a return, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to head athletic trainer Mike Frostad, Fletcher has remained in Anaheim to receive treatment on the left hip that first began to bother him near the end of spring training. The infielder was placed on the injured list April 12 and is eligible to return April 22, but it's unclear if he'll be healthy enough to play by that date. Fletcher went 1-for-13 over five games prior to the trip to the IL.

Fletcher was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hip strain.

EDGE Analysis

Fletcher exited Monday's game against the Marlins and will be sidelined for at least the next 10 days after being diagnosis with a strain. It's unclear how long the 27-year-old will be out, but he'll be eligible to be activated for the April 22 game versus Baltimore. Tyler Wade and Jack Mayfield should see most of the action at shortstop in his absence, which could also result in more playing time at the keystone for Matt Duffy. However, Andrew Velazquez will start at shortstop Tuesday after being promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Fletcher left Monday's game against the Marlins due to left hip tightness.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Fletcher's injury is unknown at this time, so he'll be listed as day-to-day until the team unveils more information. Tyler Wade and Jack Mayfield could see more opportunities at shortstop if Fletcher is forced to miss significant time.
