The Angels released Gosselin on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Since Gosselin has more than three years of MLB service time, he was able to reject an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake upon clearing waivers last week and instead elected free agency. Gosselin will attempt to land a minor-league deal elsewhere during the final month of the season, though he could draw limited interest after slashing .149/.182/.176 in 77 plate appearances in the majors between stops with Atlanta and the Angels this season.

Gosselin was designated for assignment by the Angels on Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gosselin's time on the 40-man roster is over after he batted .098 with one extra-base hit over 51 at-bats since rejoining the team July 18. If the 33-year-old goes unclaimed off waivers, he'll either report to Triple-A Salt Lake or receive his outright release. The transaction opens a spot on the roster for first baseman/designated hitter Mike Ford, whose contract was selected from Triple-A ahead of Thursday's game against the Rays.

Gosselin will sit Saturday against the Twins, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gosselin's playing time has been slipping lately, and he's now been on the bench for three of the last four games. Jose Rojas will start at third base.

Gosselin isn't starting Friday against the Twins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gosselin has gone 1-for-13 with a strikeout over the last five matchups and will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Josh Rojas is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.

Gosselin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels appear to be moving away from Gosselin as their everyday third baseman, as the 33-year-old finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Paul Blackburn) for the second day in a row. Luis Rengifo filled in at third base in Wednesday's 3-1 loss, but it'll be Jose Rojas that mans the hot corner Thursday. Since being claimed off waivers from Atlanta on July 18, Gosselin has gone 4-for-29 with one walk and 10 strikeouts.

Gosselin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the A's, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gosselin started the past four games and will take a seat after going 1-for-10 with an RBI, a hit-by-pitch and four strikeouts. Luis Rengifo will shift to third base while Andrew Velazquez starts at shortstop.

Gosselin (head) will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Though Gosselin exited Saturday's 9-7 win after being drilled in the head by a pitch, interim manager Phil Nevin said after the contest that the 33-year-old infielder was feeling "OK," per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Nevin's comments as well as Gosselin's inclusion in the lineup for the series finale implies that he passed all concussion testing administered following his departure from Saturday's contest.

Gosselin exited Saturday's game against the Rangers after being hit in the head by a pitch, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gosselin was conscious and walked off under his own power but exited the game in the third inning. David Fletcher entered the contest in his place, hitting eighth while playing at the keystone while Luis Rengifo moved over to third base.

Gosselin isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gosselin started the last four games and went 3-for-16 with a triple, a run, an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts. However, he'll get a day off while Luis Rengifo shifts to third base with Andrew Velazquez starting at shortstop.

Gosselin will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Royals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll make his fourth consecutive start at the hot corner and appears to have settled in as the Angels' primary option at the position while Anthony Rendon (wrist) is done for the season and while Matt Duffy (back) is on the 10-day injured list. Luis Rengifo has experience at third base, but the Angels have shown a preference to keep him in the lineup at either second base or shortstop while Andrew Velazquez and Michael Stefanic vie for work at the other middle-infield spot. Gosselin has gone 1-for-13 with a walk in his first four games for the Angels since being claimed off waivers from Atlanta, so he'll likely need to raise his performance at the plate to stick in a starting role once Duffy is deemed ready to return from the IL.
