Soto (knee) may become activated off the 15-day DL on Wednesday prior to the game against the Cubs, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soto has been out with an inflamed left knee since mid-July, but has been progressing well with Triple-A Salt Lake and could return to the team Wednesday. If Soto is unable to return, he will likely be back by Friday at the latest. During his time with Salt Lake, Soto has gone 7-for-36 with one home run and eight RBI. The 33-year-old was having a fairly decent year when he's been on the field, touting a .284 average, but he's spent almost two months on the disabled list in 2016.

Soto (knee) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Soto has been on the disabled list since July 18 with an inflamed left knee. He will start his journey back with Salt Lake and likely spend a couple games with the club before rejoining the Angels barring any setbacks.

Soto has been placed on the disabled list with an inflamed left knee, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soto has been replaced on the roster by Juan Graterol, and Jett Bandy is likely to take the bulk of the catcher at-bats with Soto out. The injury was not expected to be this serious, but with the Angels needing two healthy catchers, they decided to play it safe and let Soto heal on the disabled list.

Soto (knee) remains out of the lineup Monday against Texas, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jett Bandy will remain behind the plate as Soto continues to deal with the knee discomfort that kept him out of Sunday's contest. The injury still isn't considered serious, and the fact that the Angels haven't brought up another catcher suggests Soto should be able to return to action shortly (and may even be available in an emergency Monday night).

Soto was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to left knee discomfort, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soto's removal from the lineup forced Jett Bandy to make the nod behind the plate as the team's only healthy catcher, but it's not believed that Soto's injury is serious. Carlos Perez, who is third on the Angels' organizational depth chart at catcher, still ended up playing at Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday after the Soto news dropped, suggesting the Angels aren't concerned about Soto missing much further action.

Soto was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the White Sox for an undisclosed reason, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soto was set to start for the second time in the series, but the Angels ended up reversing course after completing batting practice. Look for the team to provide a rationale behind the decision later in the day. Jett Bandy will step in for Soto behind the plate.

Soto is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Soto started Friday's second-half opener, going 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in the Angels' win. The 33-year-old also started the team's final game before the break and his track record at the major league level may give him an edge over Jett Bandy for playing time, although Soto and his surgically repaired knee may end up requiring frequent maintenance.

Soto finished 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Soto was making his second consecutive start since returning from a long-term knee injury, and he helped the offense hang seven runs on the board while catching a shutout from the pitching staff. Soto has just 67 at-bats under his belt this year, but his .811 OPS could bear watching if he can continue to provide a spark for a lackluster Angels lineup.

Soto was activated from the 15-day DL after Friday's game, the Los Angeles Times' Pedro Moura reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soto has been out since mid-May with a torn meniscus, and could get a start behind the plate Saturday or Sunday prior to the All-Star break. Carlos Perez was optioned to Triple-A as a corresponding move. Soto and Jett Bandy should see a relatively even split behind the plate for the Angels going forward.

Soto (knee) is on his way to Baltimore and could be activated from the disabled list on Saturday, Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soto was playing well for the Angels before suffering a knee injury back in May. Before going down, Soto was hitting .283/.338/.483 with three home runs in 60 at-bats. Soto expects to slot back into the catcher rotation, which is currently manned by Jeff Bandy and Carlos Perez.
