The Angels placed Sano on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left knee inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Sano has missed most of the last week with the injury, and the Angels finally decided to deactivate him. He will be eligible to return from the IL next week, but it's not clear yet whether he's expected to make it back by that time. Willie Calhoun was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding movfe and could see some starts at designated hitter, although the Halos might filter through multiple players in the spot.

Sano (knee) isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Knee inflammation will cause Sano to miss his fourth consecutive game, and the 30-year-old infielder could end up on the injured list if he's unable to return to the lineup soon. Cole Tucker will serve as the Angels' DH and bat seventh while Sano sits.

Sano (knee) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third straight game Sano has been on the bench due to a left knee issue which has plagued him for the better part of a week. Cole Tucker is at designated hitter and Brandon Drury and Ehire Adrianza will handle the corner infield spots for the Angels on Monday.

Sano (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Sano is dealing with inflammation in his left knee and will sit Sunday for the second straight game, and he also exited Wednesday's and Friday's contests due to soreness. Mike Trout will receive a turn at designated hitter while Aaron Hicks starts in center field.

Sano said Saturday that he's day-to-day after an MRI revealed inflammation in his left knee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like Sano avoided a major setback with his surgically repaired left knee. He exited games Wednesday and Friday due to soreness, and Angels manager Ron Washington told Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register that the left knee had contributed to Sano's recent struggles at the plate. While Sano says he's day-to-day, it would not be a surprise if he sat Sunday, and an IL stint can't be completely ruled out.

Sano went to have his sore left knee examined Saturday afternoon, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sano was in the starting lineup Friday after battling soreness in the knee for several days, but his knee "flared up again" after two at-bats, per manager Ron Washington. The Angels have not provided an update as of Saturday evening, and it's especially concerning given that Sano's left knee is what cost him the better part of the last two seasons. Sano got off to a decent start with the Angels and went yard last weekend for his first MLB homer in over two years, but his status is up in the air at the moment.

Sano (knee) is starting at third base and hitting in the cleanup spot for Friday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sano left Wednesday's game against the Orioles due to left knee soreness. He's apparently feeling better after the Angels' day off Thursday and is ready to play against his former team Friday. The 30-year-old is slashing .271/.362/.373 with three doubles, eight runs, one home run and five RBI over 69 plate appearances while drawing eight walks to start the season.

Sano was removed from Wednesday's game versus Baltimore due to left knee soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what exactly caused Sano's knee to start acting up on him, but he was replaced at third base prior to the sixth inning nonetheless. More information on his knee may come after the game, but if his injury is minor, the Angels' off day Thursday could allow the 30-year-old infielder to return without missing any games.

Sano will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sano will make his seventh straight start Wednesday, including his fourth in a row at the hot corner. With Anthony Rendon () on the injured list, Sano looks as though he'll handle an everyday role at third base, at least while he continues to hold his own at the plate. Though Sano hasn't provided much in the way of counting stats through his first 19 games of the season (one home run, eight runs and five RBI), he's hitting .281 and getting on base at a .373 clip.

Sano went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The long ball off Graham Ashcraft in the sixth inning was Sano's first in the big leagues since April 15, 2022. Sano missed the better part of two years after undergoing surgery on his left knee, and he got off to a slow start with the Angels this season, but he's suddenly up to an .808 OPS. He could see more time at third base in the short term after Anthony Rendon left Saturday's game with a hamstring injury.
