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.
