The Angels outrighted Kavadas to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Kavadas will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Kavadas has slashed just .168/.271/.292 with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate in 40 games at the big-league level.

The Angels designated Kavadas for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels sent Kavadas to Triple-A on Sept. 4 after he went just 2-for-20 with 10 strikeouts during his time in the majors, and the team will now strip him of his place on the 40-man roster as well. This creates space for Chad Wallach to join the active roster as catcher depth to replace Travis d'Arnaud (concussion).

Kavadas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kavadas finds himself on the bench for the third in four games, with all of his absences coming against right-handed pitchers. After going just 2-for-19 with 10 strikeouts following his Aug. 12 call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake, Kavadas appears set to play second fiddle at first base to Oswald Peraza until Nolan Schanuel (wrist) returns from the injured list.

Kavadas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, afds
EDGE Analysis
Oswald Peraza will step in at first base for Kavadas, who started in each of the last three games and went 1-for-9 at the dish. Though he's on the bench Wednesday as the Rangers send lefty Jacob Latz to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Kavadas should play regularly against right-handed pitching while top first baseman Nolan Schanuel (wrist) is on the injured list.

Kavadas will start at first base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Kavadas will remain in the lineup for a second straight game and could see the bulk of the starts at first base against right-handed pitching after the Angels placed Nolan Schanuel (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Over his 114 career plate appearances in the majors, Kavadas owns an unremarkable .180/.281/.320 slash line and a monstrous 38.6 percent strikeout rate, but the 26-year-old had displayed excellent pop at Triple-A Salt Lake this season (23 home runs in 105 games).

The Angels recalled Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Gustavo Campero (ankle) headed to the injured list, Kavadas will come up from the minors to replenish the Angels' bench depth. The 26-year-old is 0-for-1 in the majors this season but owns an .826 OPS through 479 plate appearances in Triple-A.

Kavadas was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kavadas was recalled Tuesday but did not appear in a game before being sent back to Salt Lake. He's maintained an .821 OPS across 465 plate appearances at the level -- good for a 104 wRC+ -- so he could find his way back to Los Angeles later in the campaign.

The Angels recalled Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kavadas' time in the majors will likely be brief, as he is filling in for Yoan Moncada (personal) while the former takes his U.S. citizenship test Tuesday. Kavadas owns an .821 OPS in Triple-A and will be on the bench for Tuesday's contest against Tampa Bay.
