The 32-year-old infielder was cut loose by the Angels at the start of August after hitting .202/.209/.272 with a pair of homers, 11 RBI and one swipe in 116 plate appearances. He’s in the lineup at Triple-A Toledo on Saturday night.

The Angels needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster on Thursday for the acquisition of Oswald Peraza from the Yankees. Newman, 31, slashed a pitiful .202/.209/.272 with two homers, 11 RBI and one stolen base in 116 plate appearances with the Halos. It’s very unlikely that anyone is going to come calling on waivers, though Newman could ultimately refuse an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake and choose to hit the open market.

Newman broke the game open with a three-run blast in the seventh inning to turn a 3-2 lead into a 6-2 cushion. The 31-year-old is playing while Zach Neto (shoulder) isn’t healthy enough to start, and even with the homer and another hit, he’s slashing .202/.212/.262 over 84 at-bats.

The 31-year-old was away from the team for a couple of days as he welcomed a new addition to the family. He returns to an underwhelming .195/.205/.221 slash line with zero homers, four RBI and one stolen base through his first 79 plate appearances with the Halos. Kyren Paris was optioned back to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.
