Lagares was removed from Friday's win over the Mariners with low back discomfort, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lagares crashed into the wall in right field in the seventh inning of Friday's matchup and was removed from the contest in the next frame. He won't start Saturday against Seattle, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench or whether he'll return to the lineup in Sunday's season finale. Prior to Friday's departure, the 32-year-old went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts.

Lagares went 2-for-4 with a single, a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Lagares came through with a pair of big hits for the Halos on Wedneday, smacking an RBI double in the second before cashing in another run with a base hit in the sixth. Due to a September slump that has seen Lagares hit just .200, the outfielder has lost some playing time to Jose Rojas. With free agency approaching yet again for the 32-year-old, he's a candidate to be wearing a different uniform come 2022.

Lagares is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Lagares is on the bench for the third time in four games and appears to have lost hold of primary duties in right field to Jose Rojas. The Angels will roll out an outfield of Phil Gosselin, Brandon Marsh and Rojas from left to right in the series finale.

Lagares went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder's fifth-inning solo shot to center field pulled the Angels into a 1-1 tie, but the offense was unable to muster any additional runs. Though he isn't known as a power hitter, Lagares has gone deep three times in his past eight games. He's batting a meager .182 (4-for-22) over that span, however.

Lagares went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a loss to San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
The Padres threatened to win the game in a blowout, but Lagares' two-run shot in the seventh inning started a mini-rally by the Angels and made the final score respectable. The veteran outfielder has never been much of a power threat, and his five homers on the season are just one short of his career high set in 2015 with the Mets.

Lagares went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Saturday's 4-1 triumph against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Lagares opened the game's scoring with his third-inning solo blast to left though he struck out in his other two at-bats. The long ball was the 32-year-old's second in his last seven games --the same as his total from his first 84 -- and he should see more playing time if he continues to hit well.

Lagares went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in Monday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Lagares flew out his first at-bat but was able to notch a hit his next three times up. He hit a run-scoring triple in the sixth and then singled home what would end up being the game-winning run with two outs and two strikes in the eighth. It was his first three-hit game since August of 2019 as he raised his slash line to .245/.271/.371 with 23 extra-base hits, 30 RBI, 33 runs scored, a steal and 2:54 BB:K over 256 plate appearances. Lagares will have to fight for playing time in a crowded outfield between Justin Upton, Brandon Marsh, Jo Adell and Phil Gosselin.

Lagares went 2-for-5 with a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in a 14-8 win over the Orioles on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lagares capped the Angels' five-run second inning with a two-run homer to center field and knocked in another run with a single in the fourth frame. He has been mostly filling a reserve role of late -- prior to Tuesday, he had logged only three at-bats and hadn't gotten a hit since Aug. 17.
