• Angels' Niko Kavadas: Loses 40-man spot

  The Angels designated Kavadas for assignment Friday. 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).

• Angels' Niko Kavadas: Losing work to Peraza

  Kavadas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. Kavadas finds himself on the bench for the third time 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 will start at first base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rangers. 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).
