Lewis has collected six extra-base hits -- two homers and four doubles -- in 29 plate appearances since returning from a groin injury July 26. When in the lineup, the Minnesota slugger is a formidable power bat, as he is now slashing .286/.357/.679 across 126 plate appearances this season.

Luis Rengifo 3B | SD
Angels' Luis Rengifo: Removed early Friday
Rengifo was removed from Friday's game against the Mets due to wrist irritation.
Rengifo returned to the starting lineup Friday after missing Thursday's contest due to a flareup of his right wrist injury. He didn't seem very comfortable at the plate, however, and he struck out during both of his at-bats. Given his recent history with wrist problems, the Angels may consider placing him back on the injured list.
