Paris joins the Angels’ bench mix ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox with veteran infielder Kyle Newman away from the club on paternity leave. The versatile 23-year-old was demoted to the minors last month after a prolonged slump at the plate.

Paris set the fantasy landscape ablaze when he homered five times in 10 games to open the year. The 23-year-old, who overhauled his swing during the offseason, went into an extended tailspin afterwards, hitting .129 (13-for-101) with one homer and three steals in 33 games following a two-homer performance on April 9. He’ll attempt to turn things around in the minors.

That’s the first homer for Paris since April 9 when he went deep twice against Tampa Bay and caused everyone to lose all sense of rational thought. The 23-year-old did also single and walk to improve his on-base percentage to .311, while the homer bumps his slugging mark to .378. There is long-term upside in Paris with flashes that suggest he can be a fantasy option. Fantasy managers should still absolutely looking elsewhere for options up the middle.

Hey, remember Kyren Paris? After his red-hot start to begin the season — red-hot doesn’t even begin to describe it — Paris has scuffled mightily, but he was able to get a two-run single to extend the Angels’ lead to 5-1. It was the only hit of the game, but maybe the 23-year-old can start another scorching run. Fantasy managers shouldn’t even consider betting on it, but weirder things have happened.

It’s the eighth straight hitless start for Paris, who is 0-for-24 with 14 strikeouts and no walks during the span. He was so good before the slump that he has still has an .823 OPS, which is 168 points better than the Angels’ team mark. Given that the primary alternative at second base is Tim Anderson, it can’t fathomably hurt the team to stick with Paris for now; he’ll likely continue having issues hitting for average, but that power outburst couldn’t have been a complete fluke. Mixed leaguers, on the other hand, can move on.

The 23-year-old blasted five homers and swiped four bases within his first 30 plate appearances on the season, but since then he’s slashing a pitiful .111/.179/.139 with an 18/1 K/BB ratio over 40 plate appearances. A day off to clear his head will hopefully do him some good. Tim Anderson will start in his place at second base and bat ninth for the Halos against Twins’ right-hander Pablo Lopez.

Paris has been slumping badly at the dish after his sizzling start, going just 2-for-21 (.095) with a 12/0 K/BB ratio over his last seven games, so he’ll get a day off to clear his head. Tim Anderson will start in his place at second base and will bat ninth against Justin Verlander and the Giants on Sunday afternoon.
