Jared Walsh Returns to Angels Lineup After Injury and Release of Veteran Outfielder.
The Los Angeles Angels have activated first baseman Jared Walsh from the injured list after he dealt with insomnia and recurring headaches for over a year. Walsh underwent surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome last September and had a successful rehab stint at Triple-A Salt Lake. Outfielder Brett Phillips was designated for assignment to make room for Walsh. Phillips was signed during the offseason but only had two starts and 16 plate appearances over 19 games. The Angels owe Phillips roughly $835K in remaining salary unless another team claims him on waivers.
