Brandon Drury

The Angels weren't able to get anything going against Luis Castillo in this one, but finally broke through and scored a pair of runs in the eighth inning, with Drury's RBI knock off of Trent Thornton playing Kevin Pillar with the go-ahead run. The 31-year-old slugger finished the day 2-for-4 and is now hitting .172/.253/.213 with a homer and eight RBI.

Adell delivered a hard-single up the middle with two outs in the ninth, plating Brandon Drury. Julio Rodriguez might well have thrown Drury out had he been manning center field, but Victor Robles made a mediocre throw up the third-base line and Cal Raleigh failed to hold on to the ball, not only allowing Drury to score but also permitting Zach Neto to race around for an insurance run. Adell also walked tonight. He's hit in seven straight to improve to .199/.270/.399 for the season. We wouldn't call that good, but it's quite a bit better than what Mickey Moniak is doing, which could be big with Mike Trout set to return this weekend. It also might be moot by next week, since a Taylor Ward trade would keep both Adell and Moniak playing fairly regularly.

With Anthony Rendon back at third. Rengifo figures to see most of his playing time at second after returning. That could put Brandon Drury on the bench against a fair number of righties. Keston Hiura's roster spot is likely in danger.

The 22-year-old first baseman was replaced by Brandon Drury. He'll head for further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury. Expect the Angels to provide another update on his status either after Saturday's game or prior to Sunday's series finale against the A's.

It's probably safe to call him day-to-day for now. Brandon Drury will make the start at third base instead.
