The Angels reinstated Fulmer (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, and he'll shift to a relief role, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The right-hander was operating as a starter when he landed on the IL with elbow inflammation in late August, but he'll shift to a relief role now that he's recovered from the injury. Fulmer is returning to the active roster without a rehab assignment, so the move to relief is likely allowing him to more quickly rejoin the Angels.

Montero (6-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing five hits and one walk over five scoreless innings against the Orioles. He struck out one.

Montero did not allow a run for the second game in a row, with the biggest threat coming when he worked around a one-out second and third situation in the third inning. The 24-year-old rookie was pulled following just 63 pitches through five innings after coming off a complete-game shutout of the Rockies in his last start. Montero's ERA has dropped nearly a full run thanks to his most recent performances, moving from 5.47 to 4.60 with a 1.27 WHIP and 66 strikeouts through 88 innings. He's next slated to get another shot at the Orioles, this time in Baltimore.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Raleigh's absence from the lineup ends a run of 19 straight starts, during which he posted a .229/.341/.400 slash line with three homers, 15 RBI and 10 runs. Mitch Garver will step in behind the plate to catch for right-hander George Kirby.

The Angels placed Aldegheri on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a blister on his left middle finger.

The 23-year-old surrendered four earned runs over two innings during his third MLB start Saturday, and he won't be eligible to return from the IL before the end of the season. Aldegheri had a 3.60 ERA in two starts with Double-A Reading after being acquired by the Angels ahead of the summer trade deadline, and he posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 10:10 K:BB over 13 frames in his first taste of the big leagues. The left-hander should have a chance to crack the Angels' starting rotation coming out of spring training, but he could also begin the campaign in the minors given he has yet to see action at the Triple-A level.

The Angels placed Teodosio on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right middle finger fracture.

Teodosio made an appearance as a pinch runner Saturday in his first game action since he suffered the minor finger fracture Tuesday, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The 25-year-old will be eligible to return for the final five games of the regular season, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Vargas will take a seat for the second day in a row and for the third time in five contests. Bryan Ramos appears to have supplanted Vargas as Chicago's preferred option at third base, though both players could see their opportunities dry up if Yoan Moncada (adductor) is able to return from the injured list later in the week.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

The lefty-hitting Lopez starts more often than not against right-handed pitching, but he's been routinely exiting the lineup against left-handed pitching of late. With southpaw JP Sears toeing the rubber for Oakland, Lopez will give way to Jacob Amaya at shortstop.

Fletcher is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

After starting in each of Chicago's last four games, the lefty-hitting Fletcher will retreat to the bench while Oakland sends southpaw JP Sears to the hill. Corey Julks will check in for Fletcher in right field.

Wilson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Wilson will get a breather for the series finale after he went 5-for-24 with a double, three runs and no RBI while starting in each of the past six games. Nick Allen will replace Wilson as the Athletics' starting shortstop.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

He'll be receiving some routine maintenance after starting at catcher each of the past three days. Kyle McCann will spell Langeliers behind the dish Sunday.
