Cozart (calf) is starting at shortstop and hitting second Tuesday against the Rockies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart has been sidelined since March 3 with a left calf strain, but he's been cleared to rejoin the lineup in a full capacity after being limited to DH duties in a string of minor-league games over the weekend. With eight exhibition games left before Opening Day, the 33-year-old should still have enough time to get up to speed before the start of the season.

Cozart (calf) is scheduled to start in the field in Tuesday's spring game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart has been sidelined since March 3 with the left calf strain but was able to hit in minor-league games over the past couple days. The 33-year-old will ramp up to play the field Tuesday and if all goes well he appears to be on track for Opening Day.

Cozart (calf) will hit in a minor-league game Friday but will not play the field, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart has been taking part in baseball activities throughout the week and his return to game action -- even if limited -- is a big step towards his potential return. The 33-year-old believes he'll be ready for the start of the regular season, but with less than two weeks until Opening Day he has a small window to prove his health and cannot afford any setbacks.

Cozart (calf) could get into a minor-league game in a few days, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart has been hitting, throwing and running for a few days and will take groundballs Wednesday. He believes he'll be ready for Opening Day, though that's just 15 days away, so he'll need to get some game action under his belt soon if that's going to happen.

Cozart (calf) is fully confident that he'll be able to play on Opening Day, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart has been battling a Grade 1 calf strain, but he's been hitting and throwing already and will run Monday. If his optimism turns out to be misplaced, Taylor Ward, Tommy La Stella or Kaleb Cowart could see an increased role.

Cozart was diagnosed Tuesday with a Grade 1 calf strain, which is expected to sideline him for a few weeks, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart's injury had originally been described as tightness, but it turns out the issue is more significant and will force him to miss more time than expected. The somewhat vague timeline puts his return date right around Opening Day, though it may be unlikely for him to be available at that time without at least a minor-league rehab stint beforehand. A cautious approach could be wise for the Angels, as Cozart was limited by injuries to just 58 appearances last year, though that was due to an entirely unrelated torn labrum in his shoulder. If Cozart does miss time to start the year, Taylor Ward, Tommy La Stella or Kaleb Cowart could benefit.

Cozart was scratched from Sunday's game against Oakland due to left calf tightness.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart was scheduled to start at third base and bat cleanup Sunday but was ultimately replaced in the lineup by Taylor Ward. The severity of the injury remains unclear as Cozart is set to be re-evaluated Monday morning. The 32-year-old also missed a few days last week with shoulder soreness.

Cozart was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics for undisclosed reasons, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear whether Cozart's absence is injury related or if something else is at play. Taylor Ward will start at third base and bat cleanup in his stead.

Cozart (shoulder) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Rockies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart will make his second appearance of the spring after he came out of his Cactus League debut with a sore left shoulder, which resulted in him being scratched from the lineup Monday versus the Brewers. As anticipated, Cozart only needed a couple of extra days to heal up and will step back in at the hot corner, which will likely be his primary position for his second straight season with the Angels.

Cozart (shoulder) is scheduled to take batting practice Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cozart was scratched from Monday's game with shoulder soreness, but the infielder downplayed the severity of the issue afterwards, noting that he would have played through it during the regular season. The fact that he's already resumed hitting only further suggests the issue won't keep him sidelined for too long.
