JACK MAYFIELD NEWS

Recalled by Angels Mayfield was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Impact Mayfield was claimed off waivers by the Angels in mid-June, and he slashed .329/.382/.657 with five homers, 14 runs and 11 RBI across 15 games during his time at Triple-A Salt Lake. The 30-year-old should serve as a utility option for the Angels after Anthony Rendon (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Returns to Angels off waivers Mayfield was claimed off waivers by the Angels on Sunday and assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Impact Mayfield began the season with the Angels, going hitless in three April at-bats before being DFA'd on April 24.

He'll now return to the Angels' farm system, where he'll provide infield depth at Salt Lake for the time being.

Impact He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster to first baseman Jake Bauers, whom the Mariners acquired from Cleveland on Thursday.

Bright spot in shutout loss Mayfield went 2-for-3 in a loss to the Athletics on Wednesday.

Impact The shortstop mustered the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Mariners in the shutout defeat. Mayfield has shown signs of life at the plate over his last five games (three starts), going 4-for-10 with a double, two RBI, a walk and a run during that span.

Scuffling heavily at plate Mayfield, who was out of the starting lineup Friday against the Rangers after going 1-for-2 with a two-run double and a walk in Thursday's win, is slashing just .095/.136/.143 acro...

Impact The 30-year-old put together some solid offensive seasons at the upper levels of the minors in the Astros organization in the latter part of the last decade, but he's looked absolutely overmatched over 55 games in parts of three seasons at the big-league level with Houston, the Angels and the Mariners. Thursday's timely two-bagger was only Mayfield's second hit of the season, and his career-high 36.4 percent strikeout rate has certainly been an impediment thus far.

Moves to bench Mayfield is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Mayfield had started three of the past four games at second base, going 1-for-10 over that stretch. Ty France was reinstated from the injured list Monday and could settle in as the primary option at the position until Dylan Moore (calf) is back from the IL, in which case Mayfield may have to settle for a utility role moving forward.

Recalled by Mariners Mayfield was called up from Triple-A Tacoma and will bat seventh as the second baseman Wednesday against Detroit, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

Impact The infielder was called up to fill the spot of Dylan Moore (calf), who went to the injured list Wednesday. Mayfield had three hitless at-bats with the Angels in early April and has bounced around among various rosters ever since.

Gets call to Seattle Mayfield was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Impact Manager Scott Servais said earlier in the evening during a radio interview that Ty France (wrist) was headed to the injured list, and the paperwork is now done. Mayfield, a waiver acquisition from the Angels in late April, will replace France on the active roster. Mayfield is an ultra-light-hitting utility infielder (career .165/.193/.275).

Angels put Rendon on injured list with strained groin

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon was placed on the 10-day injured list because of a strained groin

APRIL 12, 2021 • Associated Press

Joins big-league roster Mayfield was called up by the Angels on Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Mayfield gets the call with the Angels needing an extra infielder following Anthony Rendon's move to the 10-day injured list with a strained groin. He'll provide the team with some defensive versatility but is unlikely to offer much at the plate, as he's hit .170/.198/.283 in 112 career plate appearances at the MLB level.

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

Acquired by Angels Mayfield was acquired by the Angels for cash considerations Thursday after being designated for assignment by Atlanta the day before.

Impact The price for a player placed on waivers was understandably rather low. Mayfield is 30 years old and owns a career .170/.198/.283 slash line in 47 major-league games, so he's unlikely to be much more than organizational depth for the Angels this season.
