Angels activate Vaughn Grissom from injured list, designate Trey Mancini

The Los Angeles Angels activated infielder Vaughn Grissom from the 10-day injured list on June 17, following a left oblique strain that sidelined him. Grissom replaces first baseman Trey Mancini, who has been designated for assignment. During his absence, the Angels have performed well, posting a 6-5 record since June 3, and are currently 3.5 games behind the AL West leaders. Grissom's return bolsters an infield that has seen him contribute a.735 OPS with four home runs and 27 RBIs in 40 games this season. The Angels aim to sustain their momentum as they approach the summer months.
