The Angels will welcome back Luis Rengifo to their starting lineup for the second game of their series against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. He missed the last 15 games with right wrist inflammation:

The addition comes at the expense of infielder Keston Hiura, who was designated for assignment to make room for Rengifo on the roster.

Prediction

The pitching matchup sees Jose Soriano (5-7, 3.71 ERA) for the Angels against Logan Gilbert (6-5, 2.79 ERA) for the Mariners. Soriano gotten shown solid results on the road, while Gilbert has been reliable at home. Given their recent performances, a low-scoring contest seems likely. While the Angels are welcoming back one of their better hitters in Rengifo, the Mariners placed All-Star Julio Rodriguez on the injured list Tuesday amid a series of roster moves, which could tilt the advantage to the Angels.
