Records fourth steal Velazquez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Saturday in a loss to the Nationals.

Impact Velazquez has quietly racked up four thefts on the season, tying him for first on the team and placing him in a tie for 11th leaguewide. However, the infielder hasn't done much else to earn fantasy consideration, as he's slashing a meek .138/.227/.172 with no homers across 67 plate appearances.

Notches third theft Velazquez singled in his only at-bat, stole a base and scored a run in Friday's win over the White Sox.

He singled to lead off the frame, stole second base, advanced to third on a groundout and came around to score on a Tyler Ward double. The base knock was the first for Velazquez over his past six games, and he is batting just .143 overall this season, though he has collected three steals.

The journeyman has started the last six games for the Angels after being recalled when David Fletcher (hip) went on the injured list. The 28-year-old has a .182 lifetime batting average across 187 at-bats in five seasons.

Reaches base three times Sunday Velazquez went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base Sunday in an 8-3 victory versus the Rangers.

Impact Velazquez and Tyler Wade were catalysts for Los Angeles from the bottom of the order, as the 8-9 hitters combined for three hits, three walks and three runs. Velazquez made his biggest impact in the sixth inning, when he singled to score Jo Adell, stole second and scored on Wade's single. Velazquez has reached base safely in four of his five games with the Angels but is hitting just .188. He's drawn four walks, however, for a .350 OBP.

Promoted, starting Tuesday Velazquez was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake and will start at shortstop Tuesday against the Marlins.

Impact The 27-year-old missed out on the Angels' Opening Day roster but will now join the team with David Fletcher (hip) headed to the injured list. It's unclear how long Fletcher is expected to be sidelined, but Velazquez, Jack Mayfield and Tyler Wade could all see opportunities at shortstop in the meantime. Velazquez appeared in 28 games for the Yankees last year and hit .224/.235/.358 with one home run, six RBI, four stolen bases and a 33.8 percent strikeout rate.

Sent down Wednesday Velazquez was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Claimed by Angels Velazquez was claimed off waivers by the Angels on Friday.

Impact Velazquez hit .224/.235/.358 in 68 trips to the plate for the Yankees this season. He owns a career 44 wRC+ in 181 plate appearances at the major-league level, so he may face an uphill battle in spring training just to win a bench spot.
