  • Denzer Guzman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Set for MLB call-up

    The Angels will recall Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Guzman has been enjoying the favorable hitting environments of the Pacific Coast League, slashing .336/.403/.571 with 12 home runs and nine stolen bases in 268 plate appearances with Salt Lake so far this season. Whiffs were a major problem in his first cup of coffee in the majors last season, as he fanned in more than half of his 42 at-bats, but Guzman has cut his strikeout rate down considerably at the Triple-A level. The 22-year-old could get a look at third base for the last-place Angels while Yoan Moncada (knee) is on the injured list.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Pops three-run homer Sunday

    Neto went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 13-5 victory over the Dodgers.

    Neto's lone hit was a loud one, as the shortstop uncorked a three-run homer to extend the Angels' lead in the seventh inning. It marked his second homer in as many games and 12th of the campaign. Overall, the 25-year-old is hitting .231 with a .778 OPS, 27 extra-base hits, 31 RBI, 44 runs and 10 stolen bases across 63 contests.

  • Jose Siri CF | LAA

    Angels' Jose Siri: Tallies three hits Sunday

    Siri went 3-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

    Siri logged his highest hit total in a game since June 2024, spraying a trio of singles as part of the Angels' offensive onslaught. Through 34 plate appearances this season, the 30-year-old is hitting .355 with a 1.039 OPS, two homers, three doubles, nine RBI and 11 runs scored. Siri has primarily played left field this season, though he shifted to center field Sunday with Mike Trout slotting in at designated hitter.

  • Jo Adell RF | LAA

    Angels' Jo Adell: Goes deep in four-hit effort

    Adell went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 13-5 victory over the Dodgers.

    Adell logged a season high with four knocks, highlighted by a monstrous two-run homer to extend the Angels' lead in the seventh inning. It marked the outfielder's first multi-hit performance since May 20, as he entered Sunday hitting .155 across his previous 15 appearances. On the year, Adell is slashing .243/.283/.392 with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 26 runs and three stolen bases across 66 games.

  • Angels' Sebastian Rivero: Monster performance in win

    Rivero went 5-for-5 with a double, six RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Dodgers.

    Rivero was unstoppable at the bottom of the Angels' lineup, logging career highs in both hits and RBI while serving as an instrumental piece in the club's offensive explosion. The performance comes as a surprise given that the 27-year-old entered Sunday hitting .133 with a .344 OPS and two RBI across 49 plate appearances. With Travis d'Arnaud (foot) shelved, Rivero has served as the primary backup to Logan O'Hoppe behind the plate, though the latter is hitting just .192 with a .548 OPS in 147 plate appearances.

  • Jose Soriano SP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Credited with seventh win

    Soriano (7-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over six innings against the Dodgers. He struck out two.

    Soriano held the Dodgers offense to just one run through the first five innings, though things began to spiral in the sixth frame when he allowed a pair of homers to Dalton Rushing and Ryan Ward. Despite his late struggles, a strong offensive showing from the Angels propelled Soriano to his seventh win. After a dominant start to the season, the right-hander has struggled to maintain that form, posting a 5.26 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 39.1 innings over his past seven starts. The 27-year-old will carry a 2.96 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 87:40 K:BB across 82 innings (14 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Rays.

  • Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Logs two steals Sunday

    Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with two steals and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Detroit.

    Rodriguez recorded both of his steals in the seventh inning before being brought home on an RBI single from Randy Arozarena. It was the second time in the series and the third time this season that Rodriguez logged two steals. He's up to nine steals on the year and is behind the pace needed to match his total from the 2025 regular season (30). Rodriguez is slashing .258/.316/.457 with 13 home runs, 32 RBI and 36 runs scored over 291 plate appearances this season.

  • Luis Castillo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Luis Castillo: Yields one run in no-decision

    Castillo did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

    Castillo had worked behind Bryce Miller in each of his three prior outings, but the former was on the mound for the start of Sunday's series finale. Castillo limited the Tigers to just three baserunners across five-plus innings while inducing 12 whiffs, and he reached 100 pitches for the third time this season. He now sits at a 5.16 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 61 innings, and his next appearance is slated for next weekend on the road against the Nationals.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Blows save against Detroit

    Munoz (3-4) blew the save and took the loss against the Tigers on Sunday, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks in two-thirds of an inning.

    Munoz came in for the ninth inning to protect Seattle's 4-3 lead. He got the first batter he faced out but proceeded to walk the next two before yielding a two-run single to Kevin McGonigle. It was the fifth blown save of the season for Munoz, three of which have come over his last four save opportunities, and he now has a 5.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB across 23.1 innings. The Mariners may have to look into turning closing duties over to Jose Ferrer or Matt Brash if Munoz continues to struggle.

  • Blue Jays' Brandon Valenzuela: Smacks another homer

    Valenzuela went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during Toronto's 6-4 win over Baltimore on Sunday.

    Valenzuela contributed to the Blue Jays' five-run sixth inning with an RBI groundout before giving his team an insurance run in the eighth with a solo homer. The rookie catcher has been scorching at the plate recently, having smacked three homers over his last four outings, and his eight long balls are second-most on the Blue Jays behind Kazuma Okamoto (13). Valenzuela is up to an .822 OPS with 16 RBI and 12 extra-base hits over 135 plate appearances this season. It remains to be seen whether he'll remain on the Blue Jays' 26-man roster once Alejandro Kirk (thumb) is cleared to return from the 60-day injured list.
