The Angels released Wade on Saturday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Halos will move on from Wade after he slashed just .169/.260/.215 through 73 plate appearances with the team. The 31-year-old will now look to latch on with another organization, though he may need to settle for a minor-league contract in order to land an opportunity elsewhere.

Wade went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Wade entered the game after Nolan Schanuel (wrist) was hit by a pitch in the first inning and responded with his first three-hit performance of the season, highlighted by a 422-foot homer in the sixth. The 31-year-old bench piece is now slashing .178/.282/.269 with two home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs scored and one steal across 229 plate appearances this season and could see an uptick in playing time if Schanuel is forced to miss time.

Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Wade will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Didier Fuentes) for the second day in a row and looks as though he'll have to settle for a reserve role moving forward after the Angels welcomed Jorge Soler back from the injured list Tuesday. Since being acquired from the Giants on June 8, Wade has gone 5-for-33 (.152 average) with one stolen base and no extra-base hits through his first 14 games with the Halos.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Wade will hit the bench for the series finale while the Nationals send southpaw Mitchell Parker to the hill. Wade had been included in the lineup in each of the Angels' last six games -- five of which came against right-handed pitchers -- and went 4-for-19 with three walks, one stolen base and four runs.

Wade will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After signing with the Angels and getting added to the 26-man active roster June 10, Wade played sparingly over his first week and a half with the team, but he's since moved into a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield after Jorge Soler (back) landed on the shelf. Wade -- who has gone 4-for-23 with one stolen base, three runs and a 1:10 BB:K since joining the Halos -- will pick up his fifth start in six games Wednesday.

Wade will report to the Angels in the coming days, perhaps as soon as Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade was acquired via trade from the Giants over the weekend and is not eligible to be sent to the minors without being exposed to waivers, so he will go directly onto the big-league roster. It's not clear how much playing time Wade will receive initially, as his primary position, first base, is held down by Nolan Schanuel. Wade does have experience in the outfield and could see some action there.

Wade was traded to the Angels on Sunday for a player to be named later or cash, while the deal also included cash heading to Los Angeles, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday after posting a disappointing .167 average with one home run and 35 strikeouts over 144 at-bats in 50 games with the team this year. The lefty bat has proven to be more than serviceable in the past, producing a .258 average with 25 long balls, 79 RBI, 109 runs scored and four stolen bases over 760 at-bats between 2023 and 2024 with San Francisco. Wade will now look to emulate those numbers with the Angels, though it's unclear if he'll report to their major-league roster or head to Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Giants designated Wade for assignment Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade sported a healthy .767 OPS from 2021 to 2024 with the Giants, but he's struggled to get going in 2025, producing a lowly .167/.275/.271 batting line with just one home run. The 31-year-old is sure to clear waivers given his $5 million salary, and he will likely find another opportunity in a new organization in short order. Dominic Smith was signed by the Giants on Wednesday and could see regular starts at first base.

Wade (hand) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade made an early exit from Monday's game after getting hit by a pitch, and he'll take a day off Tuesday to give his hand extra time to heal. Casey Schmitt will fill in at first base and bat ninth.

X-rays on Wade's hand returned negative after he left Monday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade was struck by a pitch on the right hand in the second inning, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. The club is considering him day-to-day until further notice.
