Angels' Christian Moore: Gets invite to spring training
The Los Angeles Angels have issued Christian Moore a non-roster invitation to spring training.Moore isn't currently on the team's 40-man roster, but his invitation comes as no surprise since he's expected to compete not only for a roster spot but for the Angels' starting second-baseman role during spring training. If he breaks camp with the big club, it would be a rapid ascent for Moore, who was selected in the first round of the First-Year Player Draft last summer and put up a .911 OPS over 98 plate appearances in Double-A. Moore's biggest competition for the starting gig at second base may be veteran Luis Rengifo (wrist), but Rengifo is capable of playing almost anywhere on the field, and the Angels may have a need for him at shortstop to begin the campaign if Zach Neto (shoulder) isn't ready for Opening Day.

Angels' Christian Moore: Could be Opening Day second baseman
Christian Moore could be the Los Angeles Angels' Opening Day second baseman, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.Blum notes that the Angels were ready to promote Moore last September before the 22-year-old suffered a left knee injury. Moore returned to action at Double-A Rocket City before the end of their season, so he entered the offseason healthy. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Moore slashed .347/.400/.584 with six home runs across 25 contests for High-A Inland Empire and Rocket City in his pro debut. The Angels are always aggressive with their top prospects and have a potential opening at the keystone, so it's not terribly surprising to hear Moore could break camp with the big club if he has a good showing in spring training.

Angels' Christian Moore: Diagnosed with meniscus injury
Christian Moore has a left meniscus injury that will be "treated conservatively," though he could return to play this season.Moore exited a Double-A game Friday after hurting his left leg, and the Los Angeles Angels announced Wednesday that he suffered a meniscus injury. The organization indicated that the 21-year-old will get conservative treatment before trying to ramp up his baseball activity but didn't rule him out from returning in the regular season. That's a bit surprising considering that the Double-A campaign ends on Sept. 15.

Angels' Christian Moore: Promoted to Double-A
Christian Moore has been promoted from Single-A Inland Empire to Double-A Rocket City, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.The No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Moore played just two games with Inland Empire before receiving a promotion, going 6-for-11 with one homer. The Los Angeles Angels have a recent history of being aggressive with their top draft picks, and Blum writes of Moore that he "wouldn't be shocked if he's in the big leagues quite soon."
