Kurt Suzuki Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (undisclosed) has been placed on the injured list.

Florio's Bullpen Report: Add Ryan Helsley and Michael King While You Can

The popular fantasy baseball strategies this draft season were to load up on offensive players and those elite relievers who can safely get all the save chances. So far in the first month, offense is historically down and we have seen more bullpens change than stay the same. This is not me knocking the strategies, […]

Taylor Ward Out Against Red Sox

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward is not in the starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. It will be Ward's first day off since he returned from the injured list on April 16.

Mike Trout Whiffs Four Times On Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout had a game to forget against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. He went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts as White Sox right-hander dominated the Angels with 11 strikeouts over seven scoreless frames. This was a minor blip in an otherwise fantastic start to the year for Trout. The 30-year-old […]
