Not in Wednesday's lineup Velazquez (knee) isn't starting Wednesday against the Guardians, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Velazquez was removed from Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland due to a knee injury, and he'll be out of the lineup for the series finale. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but David Fletcher will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Hits homer in loss Velazquez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Tigers.

Impact Velazquez's second-inning solo shot gave the Angels a 2-0 lead, but the team scored only one more run the rest of the game. The homer was his first since June 28 -- a span of 35 games. Velazquez is slashing a paltry .184/.227/.277 this season, so he's a fantasy consideration only for those very desperate for steals, of which he has 13 in 14 attempts.

Absent from Friday's lineup Velazquez isn't starting Friday against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Velazquez will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games after he went 2-for-4 with a run, a stolen base and a strikeout Wednesday. David Fletcher is shifting to shortstop while Luis Rengifo (back) returns to the lineup at second base.

Swipes 13th bag Velazquez went 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base Wednesday in a loss to Seattle.

Impact Velazquez singled and stole second base in the third inning, and he subsequently scored the Angels' first run on a David Fletcher base hit. Velazquez has gone through a few base-stealing spurts this season, though this was his first theft since July 14. He's been caught on the basepaths only once in 14 tries, but his opportunities to run have been limited by a .182 batting average and .226 on-base percentage.

Not in Tuesday's lineup Velazquez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Velazquez is 5-for-27 in 16 games since the All-Star break and will take a seat Tuesday for the second straight contest. David Fletcher will shift to shortstop while Luis Rengifo starts at second base and Jose Rojas at third.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Monday Velazquez isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Velazquez has seen his playing time fluctuate over the last few days, as he's had just eight at-bats over his club's last five contests. David Fletcher draws the start at shortstop Monday with Phil Gosselin set to handle the hot corner and Luis Rengifo penciled in at second base.

Absent from Game 2 lineup Velazquez is not in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

Impact Velazquez is playing more of late, but he will not start both games of Saturday's twin bill. David Fletcher will get the nod at shortstop in the nightcap.

Playing time picks up Velazquez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Velazquez will crack the lineup for the fourth time in five games, and he could handle a near-everyday role in the short term if the Angels elect to give Luis Rengifo more exposure to third base rather than leaning on struggling veteran Phil Gosselin at the position. Though the Angels appear to value Velazquez's defense in the middle infield, he's produced an anemic .487 OPS in 262 plate appearances. Velazquez's 12-for-12 success rate on stolen-base attempts has been the only thing propping up his fantasy value.

Not starting Wednesday Velazquez isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Royals, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Velazquez has gone 2-for-9 with an RBI, a walk and four strikeouts over four games since the All-Star break, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive matchup. Luis Rengifo is shifting to shortstop while Michael Stefanic starts at second base.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Tuesday's lineup Velazquez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Velazquez started four of the Angels' last five games, but he is hitting just 5-for-28 (.179) in July, so he is not seeing everyday at-bats just yet. Michael Stefanic will enter the lineup in Velazquez's place.

Overtaking Stefanic on depth chart Velazquez will start at shortstop and bat ninth Monday against the Royals, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Velazquez appeared to have moved into a utility role following Michael Stefanic's promotion to the big leagues earlier this month, but interim manager Phil Nevin seems to have soured on the slumping rookie coming out of the All-Star break. Stefanic is on the bench Monday for the third time in five second-half contests, while Velazquez has now picked up four starts over that same stretch. Aside from providing some useful speed (12-for-12 on stolen-base attempts), Velazquez has been a black hole of fantasy production this season. He enters Monday's contest with a .170/.210/.262 slash line to go with five home runs, 23 runs and 21 RBI across 246 plate appearances.
