Jared Walsh Slugging .595 In May

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh will try and shake loose of a mini slump when the team opens up a series with the Rangers on Tuesday. Walsh is hitting only .167 over his last seven games but has enjoyed a fantastic month of May. Over his last 79 at-bats, the slugger is slashing […]

Justin Upton Hitting .148 This Month

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton will try and snap out of his offensive struggles beginning Tuesday against the Rangers. The veteran slugger is having a rough of month of May, slashing only .148/.242/.315 with 22 strikeouts in only 54 at-bats. Upton does have eight home runs on the season but is hitting only .214 […]

Kurt Suzuki Struggling To Produce

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki will try and give the team some offense from the catching position beginning hopefully Tuesday against the Rangers. With starter Max Stassi on the injured list, the veteran backstop has had to play regularly. The results have not been pretty as Suzuki is only 4-for-33 (.121) in the month […]

Anthony Rendon Mired In Slump

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will try and snap out of a 2-for-21 slump when the team opens up a series with the Rangers on Tuesday. With star teammate Mike Trout out for the next two months, the Angels need Rendon to step up. But the veteran is slugging only .383 in the […]

Jose Quintana Could Be Running Out Of Chances

Los Angeles Angels starter Jose Quintana may be pitching for a spot in the rotation when he takes the mound next. Quintana (0-3) has really struggled from the jump this season and has walked 22 batters, given up 27 runs and allowed 37 hits through 30 2/3 innings pitched this season. Quintana is, strangely, posting […]

Raisel Iglesias Posting 12.46 Strikeout Rate

Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias has struck out 24 hitters through his first 17 1/3 innings pitched this season. His current K/9 rate (12.46) would be a career high but Iglesias has had some bumps in the road. He is a very solid 7-of-9 in save opportunities but has a 5.19 ERA through 18 […]

Jose Iglesias Hitting .308 In The Last Seven Games

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias will head into Tuesday's action as surprisingly one of the Angels most consistent hitters. The veteran has hits in six of his last seven games and is batting .308 during that span. Iglesias is a contact-first hitter -- only four walks in 158 at-bats -- but is posting a […]

Andrew Heaney To Start Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney will take the mound Tuesday to open up a series against the Rangers at Angel Stadium. Heaney (1-3) is a frustrating talent, posting a 5.31 ERA through his first eight starts. Fantasy teams could look at Heaney's 11.54 K/9 rate and be easily tantalized. But the big left-handed starter […]

David Fletcher Posting Unappealing Slash Line

Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher will try and get his season going when the team opens up a series with the Rangers beginning Tuesday. Fletcher has three hits in his last two games but has been hobbled recently by a hip injury. The versatile infielder is known for hitting for a high average […]

Alex Cobb Hopes To Build Off Return Start

Los Angeles Angels starter Alex Cobb will try and build off a strong performance in his return to the mound when he takes the mound against the Rangers this week. Cobb (blister) was activated off the injured list on May 20 and twirled five innings of one-run baseball. Before the injury the veteran was off […]

Dylan Bundy's Value Capsizing

Los Angeles Angels starter Dylan Bundy is still looking for his first win of the season heading into his start scheduled for this weekend. Bundy (0-5) came into the season as the defacto ace for a maligned Angels staff and his first nine starts could not have gone worse. Bundy has lost three of his […]

Chris Rodriguez Throws Bullpen Session

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Chris Rodriguez (shoulder), who has been out since May 5 with right shoulder inflammation, threw a bullpen session on Saturday. Rodriguez also threw a bullpen last Tuesday and is nearing a return from the injured list. The 22-year-old right-hander made his major league debut earlier this year and was pitching […]

Matt Thaiss Increasing His Versatility

Los Angeles Angels corner infielder Matt Thaiss, who was originally drafted as a catcher in 2016, has been working to increase his versatility and has been catching again at Triple-A Salt Lake. Thaiss was converted to first base after being drafted, but he's also seen action at third base, second base and in the outfield. […]

Shohei Ohtani Comes Up Clutch In Pinch-Hit Appearance

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani had a game-tying, pinch-hit sacrifice fly in the seventh inning of the 6-5 win over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday and stayed in the game in right field for the final two innings. Ohtani has played in all but one of the team's 47 games so far […]

Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports that the decision was made to keep Ohtani out of the lineup Sunday due only to the fact that Oakland had a left-handed pitcher starting, with manager Joe Maddon saying that […]

Shohei Ohtani Scheduled To Pitch Next On Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to make his next start on Friday against the Oakland Athletics. Ohtani had a concerning development in his most recent outing this past Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians.
