Tallies three hits Tuesday Gosselin went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two runs in Tuesday's 11-3 victory versus the Rangers.

Impact Gosselin started at first base for the seventh time in the team's past eight games and came up with his second three-hit effort of the campaign. He knocked in the team's first run with a single in the third inning, produced another run-scoring single in the fifth, then repeated the effort in the seventh. The strong performance snapped a rough five-game stretch during which Gosselin went 1-for-16. He should continue being the team's primary option at first base until Jared Walsh (chest) returns from the injured list.

Gets Sunday off Gosselin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Impact After losing hold of an everyday role in left field shortly after the All-Star break, Gosselin appears to have recaptured regular playing time at first base in the wake of Jared Walsh's (intercostal strain) recent move to the injured list. Gosselin started each of the past five games, going 3-for-19 at the dish. Matt Thaiss will get the nod at first base in Sunday's series finale while Gosselin gets a breather.

Still seeing regular playing time Gosselin has started at first base in each of the past five games coinciding with Jared Walsh's (chest) placement on the injured list.

Impact Gosselin saw a sharp dropoff in playing time prior to Walsh's injury, starting only twice over a seven-game span. However, he has taken over at first base with Walsh on the shelf, though he has gone only 3-for-19 with two RBI over the five-game stretch. Gosselin's versatility -- he has played four different defensive positions this season in addition to designated hitter -- has proven to be a valuable asset to the Angels, but he's likely to mainly fill a bench role when Walsh returns to the lineup.

Loses hold of everyday role Gosselin remains on the bench for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact As expected, the signing of Adam Eaton, recent call-up of Brandon Marsh and reinstatement of Justin Upton from the injured list since the All-Star break have closed the door on Gosselin handling a regular role in the outfield. After manning left field in each of the Angels' first 11 games of July, Gosselin has started only twice in the team's subsequent seven contests.

Shifts to bench Gosselin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact After going 10-for-44 (.227 average) with one home run and seven RBI while starting each of the past 10 games in left field in place of the injured Justin Upton (back), Gosselin will retreat to the bench in favor of Taylor Ward. With the Angels recently bringing in Adam Eaton and Ward seemingly secure in an everyday role in at least one of the corner-outfield spots, Gosselin's days as a lineup regular could be numbered.

Drives in two in win Gosselin went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a walk in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

Impact Gosselin knocked in a run in the first inning on a fielder's choice and singled in the fifth frame, scoring Jared Walsh. He was the only player in the game to have multiple RBI. The 32-year-old is batting .385 over his last 10 games, with a pair of homers and seven RBI in that stretch. Although he has just 103 plate appearances to this point, he is having one of the best hitting seasons of his career, slashing .319/.379/.468.

Goes deep in win Gosselin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored Wednesday in an 11-8 victory versus the Yankees.

Impact Gosselin got the Angels off to a fast start with a two-run blast to right field in the first inning. The impact of the long ball seemed to lose its oomph after New York plated seven runs in the bottom of the frame, but the Angels stormed back with seven ninth-inning runs to take the victory. Gosselin has begun to emerge as a key piece in the Angels' offense due to a standout June during which he slashed .419/.471/.613 with two homers and six RBI across 31 plate appearances.

Racks up three hits Gosselin went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Gosselin drilled a solo shot off Matt Wisler in the eighth inning to put the Angels on top. It was just his second homer of the year and first since May 20. The veteran utilityman raised his season OPS to .862 with seven extra-base hits in 33 games. Gosselin has gone 8-for-14 (.571) over his last six appearances.

Elects free agency Gosselin was outrighted off the Phillies' 40-man roster Friday and elected free agency, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Impact The suburban Philadelphia native was a fan favorite during his time with the team thanks to his local roots and occasional big hit, though his overall contributions were fairly minor. In 170 plate appearances with his childhood team over the last two seasons, he hit a modest .255/.312/.363. He started everywhere but catcher and center field during his Phillies tenure, and that versatility will likely be his most attractive skill on the open market.
