Fontenelle (fibula) is among the Angels prospects listed on the Mesa Solar Sox's Arizona Fall League roster.
Fontenelle didn't appear in any games after May 4 and finished the 2024 season on Double-A Rocket City's 60-day injured list after fracturing his fibula, but he looks like he'll be ready to play when the Fall League season opens Oct. 7. The 22-year-old infielder slashed .278/.404/.417 with two home runs and 12 stolen bases in 89 plate appearances with Rocket City prior to being shut down with the injury.

Angels' Cole Fontenelle: Lands on Double-A 60-day IL
Rotowire
Double-A Rocket City placed Fontenelle on its 60-day injured list Tuesday with a lower-body injury.
Fontenelle suffered what appeared to be a serious injury Saturday, as he was carted off the field on a stretcher after making a slide into second base. The 22-year-old had gotten off to a strong start prior to the injury, slashing .278/.404/.417 with two home runs, nine RBI, 16 runs and 12 stolen bases in 13 attempts over 22 games. It's not yet clear if Fontenelle will be able to return to action this season, but his placement on the 60-day IL means he'll be sidelined until at least early July.
