Brandon Drury To Sit Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This doesn't appear to be injury related, so fantasy managers can assume his absence is for rest purposes. Drury has struggled lately, going 2-for-21 over his last five games. He'll get a chance to rest and hopefully get back on track. In his absence, Eduardo Escobar will cover second base and bat fifth versus right-hander Bryan Woo on Tuesday.

Brandon Drury Takes An 0-For-5 Thursday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury struggled at the dish on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians, going 0-for-5, but his club still held onto a 3-2 win. The 31-year-old has struggled a bit since the start of August, hitting just .236 but with six home runs, 22 RBI, and 14 runs across 30 games. Overall, Drury's slashing .264/.305/.486 with 20 bombs, 50 runs, 67 RBI, and no stolen bases over 105 contests. He's taken a minor step back from 2022 when he went deep 28 times with 87 RBI, but the veteran is still a solid source of power in all formats.

Brandon Drury Activated And Playing On Friday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The right-handed slugger is back following a seven-week absence due to a left shoulder contusion. This is a bit shocking considering the Angels recently said they wanted Drury to get in more rehab games before activating him. Regardless, it sounds like Drury is good to go, so fantasy managers can get him back in their lineups. He'll bat fifth and play second base during Friday's contest.

Brandon Drury Needs At Least Two More Rehab Games

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Brandon Drury (shoulder) will play in at least two more minor-league rehab games. The Angels want to see him swing without any hesitation. The hope was that Drury would be activated from the injured list in time to play on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners, but that didn't end up happening. Barring a setback in his next two rehab games, the 30-year-old should be able to rejoin the big-league roster early next week at the latest. When he's ready to return, he should split time at the hot corner with the left-handed-hitting Mike Moustakas, and he could also see time at first base. Before his injury, Drury was hitting a solid .277/.322/.500 with 14 home runs, 17 doubles, two triples, 45 RBI and 36 runs scored in 75 games in his first year in Anaheim.

Brandon Drury Will Begin A Rehab Assignment On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Salt Lake. He's heading to Salt Lake on Sunday but the Bees don't play until Tuesday. Drury has been on the shelf since July 2 with a left shoulder contusion but the issue had been bothering him for several days before he was placed on the injured list. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to return to the Angels for the start of their home series against the Mariners on Thursday. For the season, he's slashing .277/.322/.500 with 14 home runs and 45 RBI over 282 at-bats.

Brandon Drury Taking Grounders Thursday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) is taking ground balls at third base on Thursday and is making throws across the diamond. Drury has been out since early July with an injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder, and he looks to be on track to start a minor-league rehab assignment soon. With Anthony Rendon (shin) still out for at least another couple of weeks, Drury could be back before then and should see regular playing time at the hot corner, at least until Rendon returns. However, the Angels could decide to trade for a third baseman such as the Nationals' Jeimer Candelario, which would further complicate the situation. Before his injury, the 30-year-old Drury was hitting a solid .277 (78-for-282) with 14 long balls, 45 RBI and 36 runs scored.

Brandon Drury Could Begin Rehab Assignment This Weekend

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) hit on the field on Wednesday against a coach throwing harder than normal. Drury is going to continue doing that and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend. If he doesn't encounter any setbacks on his rehab assignment, Drury could be back in the Angels lineup as soon as early next week. The 30-year-old has been out for most of July with left-shoulder inflammation, but his return could be right around the corner. Drury should return to a regular role at third base with Anthony Rendon (shin) shut down for several more weeks. Before his injury, Drury was hitting a solid .277/.322/.500 with an .822 OPS, 14 home runs, 45 RBI and 36 runs scored in 282 at-bats in his first year in Anaheim.

Brandon Drury Goes Through Full Workout

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) was able to get through a full workout on Friday. That is good news after Drury went down in the beginning of July due to left shoulder inflammation. The Angels haven't given a timetable for his return, so fantasy managers should stay tuned for an update. The expectation is that the 30-year-old will need to go on a rehab assignment before returning to the Angels roster. It sounds like he's still a few weeks away from getting back to the MLB roster.

Brandon Drury Takes Batting Practice Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) took batting practice on Tuesday, according to Jeff Fletcher of the SoCal News Group. He's been out of action since the end of June after injuring his shoulder, but it seems like he's making a quick recovery and is getting closer to returning from the injured list. Drury posted a .277/.322/.500 slash line with 14 home runs, 36 runs, and 45 RBI across 75 contests before the ailment. That's solid production in any format, and if there's room, fantasy managers should continue to stash the 30-year-old.

Brandon Drury Dealing With Shoulder Inflammation

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) underwent an MRI on his injured shoulder, which showed nothing but inflammation. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since June 30 and was placed on the 10-day injured list last Sunday. He received a cortisone shot and will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break. Drury will look to begin baseball activities soon and target a return shortly after the break. The veteran is slashing .277/.322/.500 with 14 home runs, 45 RBI, and 36 runs with a .822 OPS across 307 plate appearances in 2023. David Fletcher and Eduardo Escobar should see an uptick in at-bats while Drury is sidelined. Escobar and Fletcher are mainly options in deep-league formats.

Brandon Drury Day-To-Day With Shoulder Injury

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) tweaked his shoulder on a dive on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox, which is why he wasn't in the starting lineup on Friday for the series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Drury is being considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers will be hoping that the 30-year-old will return at some point this weekend. He finished up the month of June hitting .337 (33-for-98) with five home runs, four doubles and 18 RBI in 24 games. Drury has been a cheap source of power in fantasy leagues in his first year with the Angels. He's currently slashing .277/.322/.500 with an .822 OPS, 14 homers, 45 RBI and 36 runs scored in 75 games. Drury should continue to be a lineup regular when healthy, but he could get pushed further down the lineup now that Anthony Rendon is back from the injured list.
