As expected, Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (back) has returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday at Comerica Park against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Brant Hurter, and he is playing first base and batting third for the Halos. Schanuel was held out of the final two games of the series over the weekend against the Toronto Blue Jays due to a minor back injury. The 22-year-old second-year player will return to the lineup for the start of a series in Motown. The former 11th overall pick out of Florida Atlantic has gotten on base this year at a decent clip (.348), but otherwise has left a lot to be desired for fantasy managers. Schanuel has also hit just .228 (23-for-101) with only three of his 12 home runs on the year against left-handed pitchers, so we would recommend looking for better upside plays at the position in DFS on Tuesday.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (back) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Schanuel will hit the bench for the second straight game in Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Center due to back stiffness, but it's not going to keep the 22-year-old out for much longer. Rookie Niko Kavadas will play first base on Sunday and hit eighth against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. As the Halos starting first baseman in 2024, Schanuel has provided mediocre production at the plate, batting .253/.348/.375 with a .723 OPS, 12 home runs, 41 RBI, four steals and 54 runs scored in 120 games in his first full MLB season. Kavadas has just one hit (a homer) in his first 24 plate appearances with three walks and 13 strikeouts in his first seven games this year for the Halos.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (back) has been dealing with a back injury and was kept out of the lineup in Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Angels manager Ron Washington said he would give him Saturday and Sunday off, then play on Tuesday in Detroit. Schanuel has been one of the few bright spots in the Angels lineup this season and has put together a very nice 2024 campaign. In 120 games (427 at-bats), he is slashing .253/.348/.375 with 12 HR, 41 RBI, 54 runs, and four stolen bases.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (calf) is back at first base and is batting second for the Halos for Monday's series opener against the hosting division-rival Seattle Mariners and right-hander Bryce Miller. Schanuel left Saturday's game early against the Oakland Athletics with left-calf tightness and didn't make the start in Sunday's series finale, but he ended up pinch-hitting and going 2-for-2 with an RBI. The 22-year-old former first-rounder in 2023 is now back in the lineup and will face Miller, who he has yet to face in his young career. Schanuel is a low-upside option at the first base position in fantasy in a weak Angels lineup. The left-handed hitter is batting a mediocre .245 (79-for-322) in his first full major-league season with only nine long balls, 34 RBI, four stolen bases and 33 runs scored in 91 games played.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel showed off his power in a 13-3 loss to the Oakland A's on Friday. Schanuel went 2-for-3 with a solo homer off Oakland starter JP Sears in the sixth inning, a blast that cut the A's lead to 6-3. The 22-year-old first baseman has been swinging a hot bat of late, hitting .318 over his past seven games. Overall, Schanuel is batting .242 with nine homers, 33 runs, 33 RBI, and four steals across 318 at-bats this season.
