Loses hold of everyday role Gosselin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Angels appear to be moving away from Gosselin as their everyday third baseman, as the 33-year-old finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Paul Blackburn) for the second day in a row. Luis Rengifo filled in at third base in Wednesday's 3-1 loss, but it'll be Jose Rojas that mans the hot corner Thursday. Since being claimed off waivers from Atlanta on July 18, Gosselin has gone 4-for-29 with one walk and 10 strikeouts.

Good to go Sunday Gosselin (head) will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
Impact Though Gosselin exited Saturday's 9-7 win after being drilled in the head by a pitch, interim manager Phil Nevin said after the contest that the 33-year-old infielder was feeling "OK," per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Nevin's comments as well as Gosselin's inclusion in the lineup for the series finale implies that he passed all concussion testing administered following his departure from Saturday's contest.

Getting regular work at third base Gosselin will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Royals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact He'll make his fourth consecutive start at the hot corner and appears to have settled in as the Angels' primary option at the position while Anthony Rendon (wrist) is done for the season and while Matt Duffy (back) is on the 10-day injured list. Luis Rengifo has experience at third base, but the Angels have shown a preference to keep him in the lineup at either second base or shortstop while Andrew Velazquez and Michael Stefanic vie for work at the other middle-infield spot. Gosselin has gone 1-for-13 with a walk in his first four games for the Angels since being claimed off waivers from Atlanta, so he'll likely need to raise his performance at the plate to stick in a starting role once Duffy is deemed ready to return from the IL.

Rejoins Angels The Angels claimed Gosselin off waivers from Atlanta on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact After being designated for assignment by Atlanta a week ago, Gosselin will move on to the organization with whom he spent the 2021 campaign. The 33-year-old ended up seeing considerable playing time for the Angels last season, logging 373 plate appearances while slashing .261/.314/.362 with seven home runs and four stolen bases. Gosselin will likely be ticketed for a utility role, with his ability to play both corner-outfield spots as well as three infield positions providing the Angels with some added versatility off the bench.

DFA'd Monday Gosselin was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Monday.
Impact Gosselin appears to be the odd man out in the infield after Robinson Cano joined the active roster Monday, ultimately being designated for assignment. The versatile 33-year-old will likely return to Triple-A Gwinnett, but he could be claimed off waivers by another team.

Back on bench Wednesday Gosselin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Gosselin went 3-for-7 with a run scored while starting in both of the past two games, and he appears to be encroaching on Orlando Arcia's role as Atlanta's primary second baseman in the absence of Ozzie Albies (foot). Arcia is back in the lineup Wednesday, but his stranglehold on the everyday role is loosening while he's been in the midst of a 2-for-28 slump at the plate over his past eight contests.

Contract selected by Atlanta Gosselin's contract was selected by Atlanta on Tuesday.
Impact Gosselin gets the call after Ozzie Albies fractured his left foot Monday, and he could stick around for a while, as Albies has been placed on the 60-day injured list. Orlando Arcia is expected to get the first chance to fill the vacant second base job, with Gosselin moving into Arcia's utility infield role, but it's possible Gosselin earns more time than that if he hits well. He's had stretches as a productive hitter in recent years, but his lifetime .261/.314/.362 line suggests he's best suited for a bench role.

Parts ways with Halos Gosselin was non-tendered by the Angels on Tuesday.
Impact Gosselin played a significant role for the Angels in 2021 given all the team's injuries, and he finished with a .261/.314/.362 slash line, seven homers, 47 RBI and 40 runs in 104 games. It was the most extensive MLB action he's seen in his career, and he may need to settle for a minor-league deal this offseason.
