Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 7
Well, seven weeks in and I'm already struggling to come up with a decent intro. I'm calling a mulligan on the intro this week and let's just get into the recap of the last two weeks. Julio Teheran is the winner in Week 5 despite going 0-1 in his two starts. After allowing four runs […]

It's Saturday and that means us baseball fans are treated to a full slate of games. We even get a double-header and we're fortunate not to have too much rain in the forecast. That's all we can ask for and it's exciting to set some lineups after a successful night on Friday. In this article, […]
Andrew Heaney Goes Three Innings In Extended Spring Training
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (elbow) threw 44 pitches in three innings at extended spring training on Friday and didn't experience any issues, according to general manager Billy Eppler. The left-hander is making his way back and could go on a rehab assignment soon with an eye on making his season debut before […]
Brian Goodwin's Value Beginning To Crest
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin added a pinch-hit RBI single in the Angels 13-0 win over the Tigers on Thursday. Goodwin has been a surprisingly strong contributor during the early portion of this season, slashing .314/.392/.505 with 11 extra-base hits through his first 105 at-bats. But there are several factors that point to a […]
Tommy La Stella Leading Off, Albert Pujols Sitting
Los Angeles Angels infielder Tommy La Stella is playing second and batting leadoff on Friday against Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily. La Stella clobbered two homers and now has nine on the season to go along with 19 runs and 23 RBI. He'll certainly be worth a look in the leadoff spot against a weak […]
Justin Bour Struggling To Get At-Bats
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Justin Bour hit a pinch-hit home run in the ninth inning of the Angels 13-0 win over the Tigers. Bour signed with the Angels in the offseason to bring a veteran presence in the middle of the lineup that could drive in runs. But Bour has gotten off to an […]
Closers and Saves Report - Week 6 Waiver Wire
Some pretty important moving and shaking went on this week in the bullpens across the league. Craig Kimbrel is still looking for somebody to love him (Queen reference in intro: ✔), and I'm still recommending anyone holding him in fantasy leagues without an NA spot lets him go. Thought it would be good to get […]

Tommy La Stella Remains Red-Hot In Motown
Los Angeles Angels second baseman Tommy La Stella went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Thursday's 13-0 rout of the Detroit Tigers. La Stella has turned it up at the plate, going 8-for-24 (.333) with three homers and 11 RBI across the past nine outings (seven starts), raising his average […]
Kole Calhoun Connects For His Ninth Home Run
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun finished 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored in Thursday's 13-0 whitewashing of the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Calhoun had a five-game hitting streak snapped in Wednesday's game, but he is still hitting an impressive .364 (8-for-22) with two doubles, two homers and […]
Felix Pena Spins Seven Scoreless After Opener
Los Angeles Angels pitcher Felix Pena allowed just three hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over seven innings in Thursday's victory against the Detroit Tigers, improving to 2-1. He came on after opener Luke Bard worked a scoreless first inning. It was the third consecutive start Pena came on after an opener, and apparently […]

Albert Pujols Drives In 2,000th Career Run With Solo Homer
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols became the third player in MLB history to record 2,000 RBI with a solo home run Thursday off Tigers starting pitcher Ryan Carpenter. Pujols joins Hank Aaron and Alex Rodriguez as the only players to reach the 2,000-RBI mark. Now a shell of his former self, Pujols is […]

Luke Bard Opening, Felix Pena Following Thursday
Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Luke Bard is now starting Thursday's contest as an opener, with original starter Felix Pena to follow and pitch the bulk of the innings against the Detroit Tigers. It's easier to just avoid situations like this in DFS and roll with a standard starting pitcher, even though Detroit has a […]
Brian Goodwin Sitting Thursday
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin, after starting 15 straight games in left field, is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Tigers. David Fletcher continues to lead off but starts in left field, and Tommy La Stella bats ninth and is playing second base. La Stella gets a lefty-lefty matchup against […]

J.C. Ramirez Throwing Live BP
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher J.C. Ramirez (elbow) has started to throw live batting practice. Ramirez is recovering from Tommy John surgery and could become an option for the team's starting rotation sometime in June. The 30-year-old right-hander made just two starts in 2018 but had a 4.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 6.4 K/9 in […]
Justin Upton Running On Treadmill
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (toe) is jogging on an anti-gravity treadmill as he recovers from turf toe. Upton probably won't return until next month and has been out all season. The Halos are missing his power strike tremendously, especially as protection for superstar Mike Trout. The sooner they can get him back, the […]
Andrew Heaney To Face Hitters Friday
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (elbow) will go three innings and/or 45 pitches against hitters in extended spring training on Friday, according to general manager Billy Eppler. Heaney is getting close to some rehab starts and to making his season debut for the Halos. The 27-year-old left-hander has ace potential for the Halos […]
Kole Calhoun Not Worth DFS Investment For Wednesday
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun will start in right field and hit eighth against left-handed starter Matthew Boyd and the Tigers on Wednesday night. Calhoun will take a five-game hitting streak into the contest and is slashing .255/.344/.545 over his last 15 games. But Calhoun is not worth a streaming option for Wednesday because […]
Albert Pujols Continues To Struggle
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols went 0-for-5 in the Angels 5-2 win on Tuesday. Despite the victory, Pujols continues to struggle and is slugging only .402 through 112 at-bats this season. Long gone are the days when the future Hall of Famer was an elite fantasy difference maker and now the return of […]
