The Angels designated Sano for assignment Monday.

Advice: The move is to make room on the roster for Anthony Rendon (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday. Sano came off the 10-day IL on June 25 after recovering from knee inflammation and was in contention for an everyday role at third base after Luis Rengifo (wrist) was placed on the injured list. However, Sano has gone just 1-for-22 with nine strikeouts since his return, and his playing time was set to diminish even further with Rendon off the IL. Should Sano clear waivers, he will have the option of sticking with the Halos in Triple-A or decline an outright assignment and seek to join another club. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago

Angels activated 3B Anthony Rendon from the 60-day injured lust.

Advice: Rendon returns from a 2 1/2-month absence without a rehab assignment because it’s the Angels and no one really cares. He’ll alternate between third base and DH for now. He might offer some value in deeper mixed leagues while healthy. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago

Malloy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Advice: Malloy will take a seat for the second day in a row against a right-handed pitcher (Gavin Williams) while the Tigers roll with Mark Canha as their designated hitter. Though his usage of late hasn't been encouraging, Malloy has performed passably since getting the call to the big leagues June 3. Through his first 27 MLB games, Malloy is hitting just .195 with a 36 percent strikeout rate, though he's provided some pop (four home runs, two doubles) and is walking in 10.1 percent of his plate appearances. He'll likely see his playing time dip when the Tigers are at full strength, but unless his production drops further, Malloy should at least have a semi-regular spot in the lineup until Detroit gets Kerry Carpenter (back) and/or Parker Meadows (hamstring) back from the injured list.

Rojas went 2-for-2 with two doubles, a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday in a loss to Milwaukee.

Advice: Rojas logged two of Los Angeles' three extra-base hits, doubling in each of the fourth and sixth innings. The shortstop is batting .359 with six doubles, four RBI and a stolen base over his past 11 games to boost his season batting average to .291. Rojas has been playing on a near-everyday basis since Mookie Betts went down with a fractured bone in his left wrist June 16. Though Betts could return in late July or early August, Rojas may not lose his spot in the lineup at that point, as manager Dave Roberts stated early this month that he may consider moving Betts to second base in order to ensure Rojas continues to start at shortstop, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee.

Advice: Taylor accounted for Los Angeles' only two runs of the contest with his 403-foot blast in the sixth inning. The utility man has bounced back from an awful start to the campaign to slash .282/.404/.590 with three home runs, six RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases over his past 15 games. Taylor has consequently started each of the Dodgers' past seven contests, and though he's hitting only .182 during that stretch, he has two long balls and a 6:8 BB:K. Rotowire.com Today, 12:17 pm
