Optioned to Triple-A The Angels optioned Paris to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Impact The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Chris Taylor, who signed a one-year major-league contract with the Angels on Monday. Paris started the season strongly with a 1.263 OPS in his first 15 games, but since April 16 he has slashed .106/.165/.176 with two steals, one home run, three RBI and a 51.6 percent strikeout rate in 91 plate appearances. The 23-year-old utility man will look to work on his plate discipline in Triple-A.

Two steals in win Paris went 1-for-2 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

Impact Paris has started just two of the last six games, as he's struggled to maintain a decent share of playing time while Matthew Lugo's been swinging a hot bat. Prior to Tuesday, Paris had gone 1-for-22 over his previous seven games dating back to May 8. The 23-year-old is slashing .198/.279/.397 with a 10:53 BB:K, seven steals, six home runs, 11 RBI and 19 runs scored over 40 contests this season. The poor plate discipline and overall lack of hitting is likely to keep Paris in a part-time role, particularly if Lugo continues to command a majority of the starts in center field.

Snaps long power drought Paris went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Wednesday in a 5-4 win against the Blue Jays.

Impact Paris went deep five times in his first 10 games this season, but he entered Wednesday without a long ball across his subsequent 21 contests. That drought ended in the seventh inning, when Paris launched a 410-foot solo shot to center field. For good measure, the infielder/outfielder drew a four-pitch walk to lead off the ninth, setting the stage for what ended up as a walk-off win for his team. Paris slumped badly in middle and late April, leading to his current poor .228 batting average on the season, but he's showing positive signs in May, slashing .313/.389/.563 with three RBI through five games, albeit with a 38.9 percent strikeout rate.

Showing signs of life at plate Paris went 1-for-3 with two RBI in a 5-2 win against Detroit on Saturday.

Impact Paris plated a pair of runs with a sixth-inning single for his first RBI since April 9 -- a span of 18 games. After a scorching start to the season, the infielder/outfielder went into a major funk, batting just .111 with a 48.3 percent strikeout rate during that aforementioned 18-game stretch. Paris has shown small signs of emerging from the slump over his past two contests, going 2-for-6 with a double, though he's struck out three times. Despite the rough stretch, Paris has managed to hold onto a near-everyday spot in the Angels' lineup, but it remains to be seen whether his role will change when Yoan Moncada (thumb) is ready to return from the injured list.
