Top Angels News

  • Angels' Jose Siri: Logs third steal

    Siri went 1-for-2 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

    Siri came off the bench, pinch hitting for Josh Lowe in the sixth inning before remaining in the game in left field. While Siri has been left on the short side of a platoon in the outfield for much of the year, he's been productive with his time. He's batting .262 with an .802 OPS, seven home runs, three steals, 21 RBI, 24 runs scored and eight doubles over 144 plate appearances. That's a vast improvement compared to the paltry .292 OPS he had in 36 major-league plate appearances for the Mets a year ago in a campaign largely lost to a fractured tibia.

  • Angels' Mike Trout: Drives in two in win

    Trout went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

    Trout had gone nine games without a multi-hit effort, batting .129 (4-for-31) during that slump. He's logged a steal in consecutive games and has 10 on the year, reaching double digits in the category for the first time since 2019. Trout is batting .240 with an .833 OPS, 20 homers, 44 RBI, 68 runs scored and 16 doubles across 102 contests this year.

  • Angels' Ben Joyce: Nabs first save

    Joyce struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

    This was Joyce's fourth big-league appearance since returning from right shoulder surgery. He's looked good so far, allowing just one hit and one walk with four strikeouts over four scoreless innings, adding a save and a hold along the way. Joyce will probably emerge as the favorite to close for the Angels in the long run. He's got tantalizing strikeout upside to fuel his fantasy potential even on a last-place team that won't produce many save chances.

  • Angels' George Klassen: Earns first win, quality start

    Klassen (1-1) allowed two runs on five hits, one walk and one hit batsman while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

    Klassen has looked much sharper during his second stint in the majors, allowing just three runs over 10 innings across two starts, though he has an 8:5 K:BB in that span. The right-hander could have a chance to start regularly down the stretch if he can build off his first career quality start, though he'll have to compete with Ryan Johnson for the last spot in the rotation when Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) is activated. Klassen is at a 5.52 ERA, 2.11 WHIP and 14:15 K:BB through 14.2 innings across four starts, but his numbers are still skewed by his two poor outings in April. He's tentatively lined up for a road start in Houston next week.

  • Angels' Oswald Peraza: Exits with bruised hand

    Peraza was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers with a left hand contusion.

    Peraza took a 95-mph fastball off his hand during the sixth inning and was replaced on defense at the start of the seventh. He seems to have escaped the incident with nothing more than a bruise, but the Angels could still keep him on the bench for a day or two while he deals with lingering soreness.

  • Angels' Tyler Heineman: Sitting Wednesday

    Heineman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Heineman will retreat to the bench after going 0-for-3 at the plate across the first two games of the series. Moises Ballesteros will fill in as the Angels' backstop, moving Zach Neto into the DH spot while Oswald Peraza starts at short.

  • Angels' Michael Fulmer: Goes to Angels on MiLB deal

    The Angels signed Fulmer to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

    Fulmer had been with Triple-A Sacramento in the Giants organization, where he held a 2.98 ERA and 52:21 K:BB over 42.1 innings. The veteran reliever could get an opportunity in the patchwork Angels bullpen down the stretch.

  • Angels' Samy Natera: Continues to rack up strikeouts

    Natera recorded the save Sunday against the Rangers, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Natera was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and struck out each of the first two batters he faced before inducing a lineout from Justin Foscue to secure his third save. The left-hander has been dominant of late, allowing just one run across his last 15.2 innings while posting an outstanding 27:3 K:BB during that stretch. In 23 appearances since his June 5 call-up, Natera owns a 2.00 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB across 27 innings.

  • Angels' Ryan Johnson: Settles in after leadoff homer

    Johnson did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.

    Johnson served up a solo homer to Joc Pederson, the first batter of the game, to make it eight consecutive outings with a home run allowed. After the first inning, the right-hander held Texas hitless over the next three frames before Austin Wynns led off the fifth with a single, and Johnson was pulled one batter later. He's now limited opponents to one run in each of his two starts since being recalled Aug. 1, which could help him avoid another option to Triple-A Salt Lake when Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) returns from the injured list. Across 11 starts and three relief appearances this season, Johnson owns a 6.71 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 43:27 K:BB over 55 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to make another start Sunday against the Royals.

  • Angels' George Klassen: Handed another start

    Klassen is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers at Angel Stadium.

    After spending the past four months in the minors, Klassen was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake last week when the Angels had an opening in the rotation after dealing Jose Soriano to the Blue Jays prior to the trade deadline. Klassen made his third start of the season with the Angels on Friday in Miami, taking a no-decision while striking out three and allowing one earned run on four hits and four walks in four innings. Klassen may need a better showing during his upcoming turn through the rotation to ensure he receives additional starts with the Angels, who will soon get some reinforcement with Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) nearing a return from the 60-day injured list. Once Kikuchi is activated, the Angels will likely have only one rotation spot available for Klassen and Ryan Johnson.

  • Angels' Ryan Johnson: Set for another start

    Johnson will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers at Angel Stadium.

    The Angels optioned Johnson to Triple-A Salt Lake on Aug. 1, only to recall him three days later when the team had a couple of vacancies in the rotation following the trade deadline. Johnson ended up picking up his 10th start of the season Thursday, when he took a no-decision in Baltimore while allowing one run on three hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. Johnson will get another chance to start Tuesday, but he'll likely need to show improved efficiency in order to extend his stay in the rotation. Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) has made three rehab starts and looks close to coming back from the 60-day injured list, and his eventual return will likely result in either Johnson or George Klassen losing out on a rotation spot.

  • Angels' Mike Trout: Accounts for team's only run Monday

    Trout went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

    Trout gave the Angels an early lead with a 418-foot solo homer to center field in the first inning. However, that was the only run his team scored despite Trout reaching three more times (all on walks). The long ball was just the second over 22 games since the All-Star break for the star outfielder, who is batting a meager .237 during that stretch. Still, Trout is up to 20 home runs on the campaign, marking the 11th time he's reached that mark in his storied career.

  • Angels' Reid Detmers: Logs quality start in no-decision

    Detmers allowed one run on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

    Though Detmers issued four free passes, he had pretty good control overall, throwing 55 of 88 pitches for strikes. The southpaw didn't give up any extra-base hits and recorded his ninth quality start of the campaign. Detmers still hasn't earned a win since June 16, but this was a promising outing after he had posted a 5.05 ERA across his previous eight starts. He's lined up to make his next appearance at home versus Kansas City.

  • Angels' Sam Bachman: Resumes throwing

    Bachman (forearm) played catch out to 60 feet Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Bachman landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right forearm radial nerve inflammation, though it's a positive sign that he's already been cleared to resume throwing. Assuming he checks out fine after tossing Monday, he'll likely be asked to throw again later in the week and could resume mound work in the near future.
