Grant Green hit his first homer of the year Saturday in the win over the Rays.

It was a two-run shot off Cesar Ramos. Green was mostly playing against lefties a week ago, but it seems his performance is earning him some time versus righties now. As it should: the Angels need to find out whether he's someone who can contribute after Josh Hamilton and Kole Calhoun return. Green has picked up at least one hit in eight of his nine starts and is batting .324 in 34 at-bats.

Grant Green went 2-for-3 with a walk on Monday before being removed in favor of pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez.

Mike Scioscia obviously isn't impressed with Green, .350 average or no. The 26-year-old isn't playing against righties, and even against a lefty tonight, he was down in the ninth spot. And then, despite going 2-for-3, he was removed in favor of a guy hitting .139. Green would seem to be the Angels' best everyday option at third with David Freese and Ian Stewart out, but since he's in the platoon role right now, his fantasy value is very limited.

Grant Green (finger) went 1-for-3 with a walk in his return to the Angels' lineup Wednesday.

Green had to be scratched from Tuesday's lineup with a jammed finger on his left hand. It was never a major issue. The versatile 26-year-old is 4-for-13 (.308) since his promotion to the major leagues on May 2 and should continue to get semi-regular playing time.

Grant Green returned to action on Wednesday May 7.

Grant Green (finger) is back in the Angels' starting lineup Wednesday night against the Yankees.

Green was a late scratch Tuesday due to a jammed finger on his left hand. The 26-year-old is 3-for-10 (.300) since his May 2 promotion from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Grant Green was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to a jammed finger on his left hand.

He'll be re-evaluated on Wednesday, but the Angels are considering him day-to-day. Green had been slated to receive his third start in the last four games in left field.

Grant Green is making his second start in the last three games in left field on Monday.

He's started two of four games since being called up and appeared in all four. Green should also see some playing time at third base against left-handers. The 26-year-old has a potent bat and is worth carrying in deeper fantasy leagues.

Angels recalled INF Grant Green from Triple-A Salt Lake.

The 26-year-old infielder was tearing the cover off the ball on the farm, slashing .365/.412/.519 with three homers and three stolen bases in his first 25 games. He's expected to see time in left field with the Angels.

Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports that the Angels will call up Grant Green before Friday's game.

Grant Green went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run against the Athletics on Wednesday.

Green, starting at second base, went deep against Jeff Urlaub in the seventh inning. Green lost the competition to be the Angels' utility infielder to John McDonald, which means he will likely start the season with Triple-A Salt Lake. He has had a great spring, however, as he is now hitting .360 in 50 at-bats.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia indicated Friday that while Grant Green has been doing extra work at third base, he is not yet ready to handle the position defensively during a game.

The 25-year-old infielder is hitting .287/.346/.391 with 13 RBI in 37 games since being acquired from the Athletics. With Howie Kendrick back to cover second base again, the Halos are seeking creative ways to get Green's bat into the lineup.

Grant Green went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored on Sunday against the Indians.

Green is 7-for-16 (.437) as an Angel and has recorded multi-hit games in three of five since he was recalled on August 6. All of the hits have been singles, however. Green, acquired from the A's on July 30, should be the regular second baseman until Howie Kendrick (knee) returns.

Angels recalled INF Grant Green from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Acquired from the A's at the trade deadline, Green spent just six games at Salt Lake, batting .333/.393/.375. He's starting at second base Tuesday and should be the regular there until Howie Kendrick (knee) returns.

The Angels are expected to call up infielder Grant Green on Tuesday.

Acquired from the A's last week in the Alberto Callaspo deal, Green will provide some insurance for the infield after Howie Kendrick left Monday's game with a hyperextended knee. The 25-year-old went 0-for-15 in his first taste of the majors earlier this season, but has produced big numbers in Triple-A. He's worth picking up in AL-only formats.

Angels acquired 2B Grant Green from the Athletics in exchange for INF Alberto Callaspo.

Green is a career .306/.354/.469 hitter in the minors but has struggled to find a defensive home. Still, it's a nice get in return for a pretty mediocre player in Callaspo. Green will report to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Athletics optioned INF Grant Green to Triple-A Sacramento.

Green struggled in his first taste of the big leagues, going hitless over 15 at-bats. The Athletics plan to bring back Adam Rosales on Wednesday.

Green posted a .318/.374/.500 batting line with 11 home runs and 49 RBI in 81 games this season at Triple-A. He's worth grabbing if you have an available bench spot in most mixed formats.

Grant Green went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in his major league debut Monday against the Pirates.

Green was also removed for defense with the A's sporting a late lead. Green may only get a couple of weeks to prove himself at second base before the A's go shopping. He'll probably sit on Tuesday with the A's throwing a right-hander in Gerrit Cole.

Athletics recalled INF Grant Green from Triple-A Sacramento.

Green will make his major league debut on Monday night in the A's series-opener against the first-place Pirates at Pittsburgh's PNC Park. The 25-year-old is going to work in a platoon at second base with Eric Sogard intially but could eventually become the full-time starter there. Green was batting .318/.374/.500 with 11 home runs and 49 RBI through 81 games this season at the Triple-A level. He's worth grabbing in most standard mixed leagues.
