Anthony Rendon Has Hits In Six Of Last Seven Games
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is slashing .308/.419/.538 over his last seven games heading into the team's finals series of the season against the Dodgers.

Albert Pujols Slugging .480 In September
Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols will try and finish the season with a bang against the Dodgers on Friday.

David Fletcher Finishing Season Strong
Los Angeles Angels infielder/outfielder David Fletcher is heading into the final games of the regular season on a hot streak.

The 26-year-old provides […]

Mike Trout Stuck In Minor Slump
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was 1-for-4 with two strikeouts during Monday's 8-5 win over the Texas Rangers.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols will cede way to Jared Walsh at first base for Monday’s contest against Texas and right-hander Kyle Gibson.

Must-Add Category Streamers for the Final Stretch
Sadly, just 10 days of baseball remain in the MLB regular season and the fantasy season.
