Dropped from 40-man roster The Angels designated Newman for assignment Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The Angels moved Newman off the 40-man roster in order to create space for newly acquired Oswaldo Peraza, who was traded by the Yankees on Thursday. Newman's season in 2025 has been the worst of his career as he is hitting just above a .200 batting average.

Swats second homer in win Newman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's win over the Rangers.

Impact The second baseman opened the scoring Monday with a rocket home run to left-center off ace Jacob deGrom in the third inning. It was Newman's second long ball of the season, coming exactly one month after his first on June 28. The veteran had struggled mightily in July, entering the game with a .217/.217/.217 slash line and just one RBI in 23 at-bats. Despite his season-long struggles, Newman has remained on the roster, largely due to injuries to Christian Moore (thumb), Chris Taylor (hand) and Yoan Moncada (hand).

Slugs first homer of season Newman went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Nationals.

Impact Newman gave the Angels some separation with his long ball in the seventh inning. The reserve infielder has gotten a look at shortstop lately, though that is likely to be a short-term opportunity while Zach Neto (shoulder) is on the mend. The homer was Newman's first of the season to go with eight RBI, nine runs scored, one stolen base, two doubles and a .202/.212/.262 slash line across 86 plate appearances this season. When the Angels are fully healthy in the infield, Newman's best shot at playing time comes at third base, where he can offer a challenge to the switch hitting Luis Rengifo.
