"Angels' Brandon Drury Lands on 10-Day Injured List"

The Los Angeles Angels have placed infielder Brandon Drury on the 10-day injured list due to a left shoulder contusion, with the move being retroactive to June 30. Drury expects to be activated after the All-Star break. The Angels have called up Andrew Velazquez to replace Drury on the roster and have also released Jake Lamb. This adds to the list of injuries for Angels infielders, including Gio Urshela and Zach Neto, though Neto's return might coincide with the end of the All-Star break. Despite the injury, Drury has been performing well this season, hitting .277 with 14 home runs.

LA Angels Cut Velazquez, Adell, Moniak in Spring Roster Cuts

The Los Angeles Angels have optioned infielder Andrew Velazquez and outfielders Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak to Triple-A Salt Lake. Velazquez was the team's primary shortstop last year but struggled at the plate, while Adell and Moniak are former top prospects who have yet to find success in the majors. The moves provide the Angels with infield depth and give Adell and Moniak a chance to develop further in the minors.
