Scarborough (melanoma) was activated from the 7-day injured list May 29.

Scarborough managed to complete a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League in May and has since been deployed for a pair of starts since being activated from the IL by High-A Hub City. He's surrendered two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over seven innings across those two appearances.

Faedo (shoulder) signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on May 21.

Faedo has found a new club after being designated for assignment and eventually electing free agency last November. He underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in August of 2025, but he appears to have returned to full strength after making two appearances in the Arizona Complex League earlier this month, surrendering four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out four over 2.2 innings. Faedo figures to receive additional opportunities in the ACL as he goes through an abbreviated spring training and could eventually settle in at Triple-A, where he'll serve as organizational pitching depth.

The Angels placed Frazier on the 10-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation.

It's unclear how long Frazier's elbow has been bothering him, but he hadn't seen any action since this past Friday. The veteran got off to a nice start at the plate this season but is just 3-for-29 since May 1 and has only 10 starts over that stretch.

The Angels transferred Moncada (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The move opens a spot on the Angels' 40-man roster for Trey Mancini, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake. Moncada landed on the 10-day IL in late May due to a right knee inflammation, and he's only recently progressed to running and hitting off a tee. Now that he's on the 60-day IL, Moncada won't be eligible to return to the Angels until shortly after the All-Star break.

The Angels placed Grissom on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.

Grissom's oblique issue had kept him out of action for the past three games, and he was unable to make enough improvement with the injury to avoid an IL stint. The Angels have not offered a timetable for Grissom's return, but oblique injuries typically result in multi-week absences.

The Angels selected Mancini's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake, and he will start at first base and bat seventh against the Astros on Monday.

Mancini and Denzer Guzman are both joining the big club after the Angels placed both Vaughn Grissom (oblique) and Adam Frazier (elbow) on the 10-day injured list. Mancini last saw major-league action in 2023 with the Cubs, when he slashed .234/.299/.336 with four home runs and 28 RBI in 261 plate appearances. Nolan Schanuel is nursing a left ankle injury, so Mancini should see a fair amount of reps at first base for as long as the former and Frazier are out of action.

Vazquez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

After starting at catcher each of the last three days, Vazquez will get a break for Monday's series opener versus the Halos. Collin Price will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Astros

The Angels recalled Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake and he will start at second base and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Astros.

The Angels needed more depth in the infield after placing both Vaughn Grissom (oblique) and Adam Frazier (elbow) on the 10-day injured list, so Guzman and Trey Mancini will both join the big club's 26-man roster. Guzman appeared in 13 major-league games for the Angels in 2025 and went 8-for-42 (.190) with two home runs and three RBI. He's been far more productive at the plate in Triple-A, where he has a .336/.403/.571 slash line with nine steals (in 13 attempts), 12 home runs and 57 RBI in 268 plate appearances.

Meyers is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.

Meyers started all three games in center field over the weekend against the Athletics, but he'll get some rest for Monday's lid lifter versus the Halos. Taylor Trammell will get the call in center field for the Astros.

Schanuel said that he is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Astros due to lingering left ankle soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Schanuel missed the minimum 10 days with left ankle tendinitis before being activated Saturday and starting each of the Angels' last two contests at first base. He added Monday that he will not need to go back on the injured list, but Schanuel could have to play at less than 100 percent for a bit as he navigates his nagging ankle problem.
