Angels fine-tune the roster But Wade's slot, which he got from the Giant trade, is still to be vacated

To bolster the depth of the outfield — Mike Trout's right outfield is not ready and Jorge Soler's groin is tight — the Angels acquired LaMonte Wade Jr. from the Giants in a trade yesterday.

Transaction Details
Angel gets: Ramonte Wade and cash compensation
Giants receive: cash compensation or a player named at a later date

Wade, 31, was nominated by the Giants last week in a deal between Angels general manager Perry Minasian and his brother Giants general manager Zach Minasian. The Angels traded future players or cash for Wade, while handing back pitcher Michael Darrell-Hicks to free up a 40-man roster spot.

Wade didn't make it in time for Monday's series opener against the Athletics, but could report as soon as Tuesday.

"We are in dire need of left-hand play," said head coach Ron Washington, "and we have credible intelligence that shows he can defend two corners of the field and is a quality player and character. Deployment options will be evaluated after they report to work. "

Angel Monday Execution Series List Changes:

• Right pitcher Shaun Anderson was contracted to make the major leagues
• José Fermin devolves to Triple A Salt Lake City
• Left thrower Garrett McDaniels specified the concession

Fermin didn't drop a point against the Mariners in 1.2 innings yesterday, but the Angels needed a long relay. If McDaniels does not receive a claim, he will need to sell the Dodgers back for $50,000 due to Rule 5 draft status. He has been sidelined since May 2 due to left biceps tendonitis and has just returned today.

"We need to eat innings and keep the depth," Washington explained, "and even if Ferming shoots well, the decisions are sometimes tough — and it's a fact that McDaniels is down the ball." "

If Soler needs to be added to the 10-day wounded list, Wade can fill his place. Soler's groin review results were not available on Monday, and he was replaced on Sunday after playing on behalf of the election. If that doesn't work, Matthew Lugo is most likely to be dropped.

Wade measured 0.167/0.275/0.271 in 50 games this season (1 hit, 8 second bases, 2 3rd bases, 15 RBIs), but his career three was 0.238/0.344/0.398, compared with 0.260/0.380/0.381 (8 hits and 34 RBIs) in 117 games last year. He has kept one base in his seven-year career, but Nolan Schanuel has been a regular starter. Washington confirmed that Wade will defend the two corner outfield positions.

Trout returned from a knee injury on May 30 and was assigned a full-time striker, with outfield training on Friday and Saturday but suspended on Sunday, and there is still no timetable for returning to the right field on Monday. Washington admits frankly: "No decision has been made. "
