"Plantar fasciitis in his right foot sent Travis d'Arnaud to the Angels' 10-day injured list on May 7, and it will be some time yet before the catcher is back on the field. D'Arnaud is currently using a scooter to get around, and he told MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger that it will be at least two weeks before he can put any weight on his right foot. Between this recovery time, a ramp-up of baseball activities and a minor league rehab assignment, a mid-June return looks like the absolute best-case scenario for d'Arnaud's return."
"After signing a two-year, $12MM deal with Los Angeles in November 2024, d'Arnaud struggled to a .197/.255/.343 slash line over 231 plate appearances in the first year of the contract. He had a modest .614 OPS over his first 40 PA this season, so between the lack of production and now this extended IL stint, d'Arnaud's time in Anaheim is looking like a bust for all sides. D'Arnaud's absence is just one of many issues plaguing the woeful Angels, whose 16-30 record is the worst in the majors."
"will spent 7-10 days in hospital being treated for viral meningitis, the Rangers announced in a press release on Friday. As per the release, "the club will determine an appropriate return to play program for Smith once he is able to resume physical activity." Smith has been on the 10-day injured list since May 4 due to a right glute strain, since he has since been set back by wrist soreness and now this illness. These health concerns add to what has already been a tough year on the field for Smith, as he was hitting only .217/.324/.239 in his first 108 plate appearances."
"Denzel Clarke began a minor league rehab assignment yesterday, with MLB.com's Martin Gallegos writing that Clarke will play two games at A-level Stockton before likely heading onto the Athletics' Triple-A affiliate. Clarke hasn't played since April 20 due to a bone bruise in his right foot, so it'll be a full month on the shelf for the outfielders"
Travis d'Arnaud was placed on the Angels’ 10-day injured list on May 7 due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He is using a scooter and expects at least two weeks before putting weight on the foot. Recovery will include a ramp-up of baseball activities and a minor league rehab assignment, with a mid-June return as the best-case outcome. His 2025 performance has been limited, including a .197/.255/.343 slash line over 231 plate appearances in his first contract year and modest production early this season. His absence adds to broader struggles for the Angels, who hold a 16-30 record. Will Smith is also dealing with multiple injuries, including viral meningitis after a right glute strain and wrist soreness, while Denzel Clarke begins a minor league rehab after a right foot bone bruise.
