Stefanic (undisclosed) started a rehab assignment with the Angels' Arizona Complex League team Thursday, Jared Tims of Talkin' Halos reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stefanic was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list with an undisclosed issue June 8. He's gone 2-for-8 with a run and an RBI through three ACL contests so far. Stefanic will likely soon return to Triple-A Salt Lake, where he was slashing an impressive .337/.421/.417 with one home run, 17 RBI and three stolen bases over 190 plate appearances before the stint on the IL.

Stefanic was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stefanic exited Sunday's Triple-A matchup after sustaining an injury while running the bases, and the issue will force him to miss at least a week. The 26-year-old also missed time with an unspecified injury in late April, but it's not yet clear how long he'll be sidelined due to his current injury. He's hitting .337 with a homer, 27 runs, 17 RBI and three stolen base over 42 games in Salt Lake this year.

Stefanic, who hadn't played at Triple-A Salt Lake since April 21 due to an unspecified injury, returned to the lineup for Sunday's 9-4 loss to Round Rock. He started at second base and went 0-for-2 with two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Stefanic doesn't possess a spot on the Angels' 40-man roster, but since he's not a young prospect at 26 years old, the organization likely won't hesitate to promote him if his performance at Triple-A warrants a call-up. He's turned in a .781 OPS through his first 14 games, making him a solidly above-average contributor in the Pacific Coast League.

Stefanic will serve as a non-roster invitee for the Angels during spring training in 2022.

EDGE Analysis

Stefanic progressed to the Triple-A level in 2021 and performed well across 104 appearances at Salt Lake, slashing .334/.408/.505 with 16 home runs, 67 runs, 56 RBI and six stolen bases. The 26-year-old will be able to develop with the big-league coaching staff this spring and could be in the mix to make his major-league debut at some point in 2022.
