Provides key homer in win Meckler went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Brewers.

Impact Meckler made the most of his first at-bat, tagging Jacob Misiorowski for a 388-foot homer to right-center field. That was ultimately all the offense the Angels needed in this win. It's just the third homer of the season for Meckler, whose last long ball came May 30 versus the Rays. He's batting .295 with a .780 OPS, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and three stolen bases over 165 plate appearances. The outfielder is currently in a part-time role, battling with Jose Siri and Jose Lowe for time in left field, though more playing time could open up if the Angels trade away an outfielder or two prior to Monday's trade deadline.

Playing time on downturn Meckler will start in left field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Meckler is back in the starting nine for the series finale, but he appears to have firmly moved into a fourth- or fifth-outfielder role following Mike Trout's return from the injured list earlier this month. With Trout stepping back in as the everyday center fielder, Josh Lowe has been prioritized in left field ahead of Meckler, who was on the bench for each of the last six contests. The drop in playing time is an unfortunate development for Meckler, who has held his own since being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on May 22 with a .302/.371/.411 slash line across 143 plate appearances.

Angels may have found a long-term answer in the outfield they never saw coming Wade Meckler has gone from waiver-wire afterthought to one of the Los Angeles Angels' most reliable bats.

JULY 18 • HALOHANGOUT.COM

Sitting Friday Meckler is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Tigers on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Tigers are sending right-hander Troy Melton to the mound Friday, but the lefty-hitting Meckler will begin the contest on the bench while Josh Lowe, Mike Trout and Jo Adell start in the outfield from left to right. Meckler and Lowe are competing for outfield reps in the second half the season now that Trout is back from the 10-day injured list.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Idle for series finale Meckler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Meckler will head to the bench for the Angels' final game before the All-Star break, ending a streak of three consecutive starts in which he went 6-for-11 at the plate to boost his average to .307 through 42 games with the big club. Heading into the second half, Meckler may need to continue to stay hot at the plate in order to ward off Josh Lowe for playing time in the outfield.

JULY 10 • Associated Press

Sitting vs. left-hander Meckler is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Impact The Rangers are sending southpaw Mackenzie Gore to the mound, so the lefty-hitting Meckler will take a seat while Josh Lowe, Jose Siri and Jo Adell start in the outfield from left to right. With Mike Trout (hamstring) back from the 10-day injured list, it's possible that either or both of Meckler and Lowe lose out on playing time against right-handed pitching. Meckler is slashing .284/.357/.394 with two steals, two home runs and 16 RBI over 129 plate appearances this season.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE
