.Los Angeles Angels third baseman Taylor Ward is out of the lineup on Saturday against the Mariners. There has been no report of an injury, so this is likely just a day off for the slumping rookie. Kaleb Cowart is batting ninth and playing third in his place. He is not a good option in DFS formats. Look for Ward to return to the lineup shortly.

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled hot-hitting prospect Taylor Ward. He is in the lineup on Tuesday, hitting seventh and playing third base. Ward is catcher eligible in all leagues, but has been playing third all season. He has hit a sizzling .349 with 14 home runs and 18 stolen bases between AA and AAA, and is worth a look in nearly all formats if he gets regular playing time at third base, which is very likely with the Angels out of contention. Grab him while you can.

The Los Angeles Angels called up third baseman Taylor Ward from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday. Infielder Jose Fernandez was optioned to Salt Lake and outfielder Chris Young was moved to the 60-day disabled list in corresponding moves. Ward is the team's No. 8 prospect and was hitting a combined .349 with 14 home runs, 60 RBI and 18 stolen bases in 102 games between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Salt Lake. The Angels are out of contention and should give Ward frequent playing time, which makes him an attractive pickup in deep mixed and AL-only leagues. He's starting at the hot corner and batting seventh in his major league debut on Tuesday against Padres starter Brett Kennedy.

The Los Angeles Angels made a flurry of minor league call-ups on Tuesday, including catcher/third baseman Taylor Ward being promoted from Double-A to Triple-A. Unfortunately, Ward cut himself while packing and was placed on the Double-A disabled list. He will be sent to Triple-A when he is healed. Ward was a catching prospect whom the Angels have moved to third base this season. He is slashing a blistering .345/.453/.520 at Double-A with six home runs and eight stolen bases. He should be firmly on the radar in dynasty leagues and AL-only formats.

Ward has made all 12 of his starts in the field with Double-A Mobile this season at third base, as the Angels have seemingly moved on from developing the 24-year-old as a catcher, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim prospect Taylor Ward has been a hitting machine so far in Double-A Mobile. The former first-round pick has hit .500 over his first 32 at-bats which includes one home run and eight RBI.

He is unlikely to make an impact at the league in 2018 but is a name to remember at the catcher position in the upcoming years.
