Anthony Rendon's first game back from the injured list will see him bat leadoff against veteran right-hander Jon Gray. Miguel Sanó was designated for assignment to make room for Rendon on the active roster in a corresponding move. Here's what else you need to know about Monday's game:

Predictions

The Angels' key to victory might rest on Davis Daniel, who has shown promise with a 2.70 ERA but is still gaining experience as a major league starter. Jon Gray will start for Texas, bringing a 3.81 ERA, though he's had mixed results recently. Expect a high-scoring game.

More

• The Angels have been shut out in three of their last five games.

• Daniel has a 0.00 ERA at Angel Stadium over 16 innings pitched.

• Newcomer Keston Hiura, who joined the Angels following a successful stint with Triple-A Salt Lake, has swiftly made his mark with a .360 batting average.
