Chris Young Falls A Double Short of Cycle

Los Angeles Angels right fielder Chris Young was a double short of the cycle on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with three runs and an RBI. The 34-year-old is only hitting .183 on the year and has played sparingly, even with Kole Calhoun (oblique) on the disabled list. With Calhoun set to return soon, expect Young to […]

Garrett Richards to Have MRI on Thursday

Los Angeles Angels starter Garrett Richards will have an MRI on his hamstring on Thursday. Richards left Wednesday's start after two innings with hamstring tightness.

Tyler Eifert May Miss All of Minicamp

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis does not know if tight end Tyler Eifert (back) will be ready for minicamp. Eifert had offseason back surgery and had reported that he was on schedule. However, he has missed the first few days of minicamp with back pain. There's still plenty of time for him to recover […]

Zack Cozart Has Left Shoulder Strain

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Angels infielder Zack Cozart exited Wednesday's game with a left shoulder strain. There is no word on how long Cozart will be out, so he should be considered day-to-day for now. If Cozart joins Andrelton Simmons on the disabled list, expect David Fletcher and Nolan Fontana to pick up […]

Garrett Richards Exits with Hamstring Issue

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Angels starter Garrett Richards exited Wednesday's game with what is reported to be a hamstring injury. More details will be available after the game. This is likely a huge relief for the Angels, as Richards has a history of elbow trouble. Still, there's a chance Richards could miss a […]

Zack Cozart Exits Wednesday's Game with Shoulder Injury

Kole Calhoun to Begin Rehab Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun (oblique) is beginning a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. Calhoun was placed on the DL back on June 3, so he is eligible to return from the DL as soon as he can. Calhoun has been one of the worst hitters in the entire league this […]

David Fletcher to Make MLB Debut at Third Base

Los Angeles Angels rookie infielder David Fletcher will make his big league debut on Wednesday, starting at third base and batting ninth.

He's likely going […]

Jefry Marte to the DL, David Fletcher Recalled

The Los Angeles Angels have placed first baseman Jefry Marte (wrist) on the disabled list. They have recalled middle infielder David Fletcher, who will be making his first trip to the big leagues.

Jabari Blash in the Lineup Again

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jabari Blash is in the starting lineup again on Tuesday. He was recalled on Monday and immediately drew the start in right field, going 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts. He looks to be the primary right fielder while Kole Calhoun (oblique) is out. Blash is not worth a look […]

Mike Trout In Tuesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (shin) is back in the lineup on Tuesday, batting second and playing center field. Trout had an X-ray on his shin after fouling a ball off of it during Monday's game. The results came back negative, and it sounds like Trout is 100 percent healthy and ready to go. Keep […]

Jose Fernandez to Start at First Base on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is in the lineup on Tuesday, batting seventh and playing first base.

Tyler Eifert Not Dressed for Training Camp

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert was not dressed and did not participate at training camp on Tuesday. Eifert was in the building and had said that the only reason he'd be out is for medical reasons. "As time goes on when we start to play football then we will have an idea of where […]

Carlos Dunlap Working Toward Extension

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap indicated that progress has been made toward a contract extension. Dunlap said he is chasing the Bengals unofficial club record of 22 sacks in a season and Eddie Edwards' record of 83.5 sacks all time. Having Dunlap in the fold next year will help make the Bengals defense a […]

Andrew Heaney Roughed up in Monday's Loss

Los Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney was roughed up by the Mariners on Monday. He surrendered five runs on seven hits in just three innings of work. He walked one and struck out two. Three long balls were his undoing, as Nelson Cruz tagged him for two and Ryon Healy got him for one. Heaney […]

Jefry Marte Exits with Left Wrist Contusion

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jefry Marte exited Monday's game with a left wrist contusion. He is day-to-day for now.

Albert Pujols is the full-time designated hitter with Shohei Ohtani out, and Luis Valbuena is […]

Mike Trout's X-Rays Come Back Negative

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout had an X-ray done on his shin after fouling a ball off of it during Monday's game. The results came back negative, and he expects to play on Tuesday. Whew.

Jaime Barria the Likely Tuesday Starter

Although it has not been formally announced, Los Angeles Angels rookie Jaime Barria is expected to be Tuesday's starter.

Jefry Marte Starting at First Base

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jefry Marte is in the lineup on Monday, hitting sixth and starting at first base. With Shohei Ohtani out for the immediate future, Marte could see an uptick in playing time while veteran Albert Pujols slides over to designated hitter. The Angels have Marte, Jose Fernandez and Luis Valbuena who […]

Angels Recall Jabari Blash, Option Michael Hermosillo

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled outfielder Jabari Blash from Triple-A Salt Lake. They sent down Michael Hermosillo to make room on the active roster. Hermosillo hit .143 in 21 at-bats with the Angels. Blash is an all-or-nothing slugger who has eight home runs in 102 career games, with 104 strikeouts and a .201 average. […]

No Changes in Shohei Ohtani's Diagnosis

Los Angeles Angels general manager Billy Eppler made it clear that, despite reports saying that Shohei Ohtani will undergo Tommy John surgery, there has been no changes to his diagnosis. Ohtani has not had TJS recommended, and his physicians have not even indicated that it is likely. Ohtani was diagnosed with a grade 2 sprain […]

Albert Pujols Back Friday

As expected, Los Angeles Angels first baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols will return to the Angels lineup on Friday, batting fourth and serving as the designated hitter. With Shohei Ohtani (elbow) out for an extended period of time, Pujols may be spending more time at DH going forward. That is likely good for the aging slugger's […]

Kaleb Cowart to DL, Jose Fernandez and Nolan Fontana Recalled

Los Angeles Angels infielder Kaleb Cowart has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left ankle sprain. Thirty-year-old infielder Jose Fernandez has been recalled in his place and will start at first base on Friday. Infielder Nolan Fontana has been recalled as well, replacing Shohei Ohtani.

Shohei Ohtani Exits with Blister on Wednesday

Updating an earlier report, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani exited Wednesday's game with a blister on his right middle finger. Ohtani was warming up in the fifth inning when trainers came out and removed him. Last time this happened, he was able to make his next scheduled start, but this time around could […]

Shohei Ohtani Exits on Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starter Shohei Ohtani exited Wednesday's game in the fifth inning with an apparent injury. He was warming up before trainers came out to look at him. It looked like his hand was bothering him, so it's possible this is another blister issue for the pitcher. More will be known after the game.

Andrelton Simmons to DL with Ankle Injury

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) was not listed on Wednesday's lineup card. With Kaleb Cowart back, it sounds like Simmons has been placed on the disabled list. Expect Zack Cozart, who is starting at shortstop on Wednesday, to continue to do so in Simmons' absence. Cowart is likely just infield depth, although he […]

Michael Hermosillo Continues to Start

For the fourth time in five days, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Michael Hermosillo has drawn the start for the Angels. He appears to have taken over regular duties in right field in place of Kole Calhoun, who is on the disabled list. Calhoun is hitting .145 on the year, however, so there's a possibility that […]
