Miguel Sanó's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Los Angeles Angels released third baseman Miguel Sano over the weekend after he went unclaimed off waivers. Sano will now have the All-Star break this week to look for another organization to latch onto as corner-infield depth. After not playing in the big leagues at all in 2023, Sano made the Angels roster out of spring training this year but hit just .205/.295/.313 with a .608 OPS, two home runs, six RBI and 36 strikeouts in 95 trips to the plate over 28 games for the Halos before being designated for assignment. He became expendable once Anthony Rendon returned from a lengthy stint on the injured list in the first half of the season. Sano does have two 30-homer seasons in his career, but he'll likely have to settle for a minor-league deal elsewhere as he tries to work his way back to the big leagues.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The veteran slugger is back in the mix following a two-month absence due to a left knee injury. Sano hasn't brought much to the table this season with one home run and five RBI in 21 games. In a corresponding move, infielder Michael Stefanic has been optioned to the minors.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Miguel Sano (knee) was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment after the burn that he suffered from a heating pad did not heal. Sano took the protection off of a heating pad to make it hotter and burned himself, and he's now headed back to Anaheim with no timetable for a return. The 31-year-old corner infielder initially landed on the injured list with a left-knee injury and now has suffered a setback due to his burn. He'll now get some time to heal up before eventually restarting his minor-league rehab assignment. Before the injury, Sano was hitting .262 (16-for-61) but with just one home run and five RBI in his first year with the Angels. In his absence, veteran Luis Guillorme and Luis Rengifo have been splitting time at third base for the team.
