Lucroy (nose) was activated from the injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lucroy suffered a concussion and a broken nose during a collision with Jake Marisnick at the plate back in early July. He was given a three-week timeline following a procedure on his nose July 14 but will wind up returning a few days ahead of that timeline. His return pushes Kevan Smith (toe) back to the bench, with Dustin Garneau getting designated for assignment.

Lucroy (nose) won't begin his rehab assignment with High-A Inland Empire until Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lucroy was scheduled to embark on a rehab stint Friday night, but he'll have to wait until Saturday to see any minor-league action. He's expected to see the field Saturday and Monday with the 66ers before likely advancing to a higher level of competition.

Lucroy (nose) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Inland Empire on Friday, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lucroy has been on the 7-day injured list since suffering a concussion and broken nose July 8 against the Astros, but he'll take a step in the right direction Friday. The Angels have yet to disclose the length of his trip to the minors, but he figures to remain on the shelf at least until the beginning of August.

Lucroy (concussion) will undergo a non-invasive procedure Tuesday to address a fracture nose, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Manager Brad Ausmus said he expects Lucroy to require approximately three weeks of recovery time following the procedure before returning from the 10-day injured list.

EDGE Analysis

According to J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News, Lucroy will don a cast on his nose post-surgery for around 3-to-7 days before having it removed. Once that happens, Lucroy, who is also recovering from a concussion, will gradually ease back into baseball activities, with his ability to catch a nine-inning rehab or simulated game likely marking the final step of his recovery process. While Lucroy is on the shelf through at least early-to-mid-August, Dustin Garneau and Kevan Smith should share time behind the plate.

Lucroy (concussion/broken nose) was transferred to the 7-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This move was a formality, as Lucroy had already been diagnosed with a concussion. It is the third concussion he has sustained in his career, but he says it is not the worst concussion he has had. Dustin Garneau and Kevin Smith will split the catching duties while Lucroy is out.

Lucroy was diagnosed with a concussion and a broken nose following a collision at the plate with Jake Marisnick on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The pair of injuries will likely take Lucroy a fair amount of time to recover from, though he has yet to be placed on the injured list. He'll have to wait until the swelling has gone away to deal with the fracture, which the Angels don't expect to happen until after the All-Star break, so a trip to the injured list appears to be all but guaranteed. Dustin Garneau will be the Angels' top catcher with Kevan Smith (hand) also on the injured list.

Lucroy is being taken to a local hospital for a CT scan following a collision at the plate Sunday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Lucroy was involved in a collision during Sunday's clash and was carted off the field after getting to his feet. He's headed for a CT scan and will then be evaluated for a concussion and a fractured nose.

Lucroy left Sunday's game against the Astros after a collision at home place, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jake Marisnick ran full speed into Lucroy during a play at the plate, though both players were eventually able to get to their feet. Lucroy was spotted holding a towel to his face as he was carted off the field, per Bollinger. The extent of the backstop's injury remains to be seen, but he'll be considered day-to-day until further notice. Fortunately, the Angels don't play again until Friday against the Mariners, so he'll have some time to recover.

Lucroy is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lucroy has a short, three-game hitting streak but has been poor dating back to late May, posting a .163/.239/.175 slash line over his last 28 contests. Dustin Garneau will get the nod behind the plate Saturday.

Lucroy is not starting Wednesday against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Lucroy has just a .508 OPS over his last 13 games. Dustin Garneau will take over behind the plate.
