Jo Adell

LAA Left Fielder #7

Jo Adell left Friday’s game because of left oblique irritation.

Irritation? Is that better or worse than tightness? Adell missed most of the second half last year due to an oblique strain. Kevin Pillar stepped in after Adell struck out in his first at-bat. Jordyn Adams would probably get the callup if Adell lands on the IL. He’s not much of a hitter, but his stolen base ability could make him useful in mixed leagues.
Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9

Zach Neto went 3-for-4 against the Rangers on Thursday.

It was a much needed effort for Neto. He was hitting .182 with three home runs and six RBI in his previous 21 games. Neto’s hitting .257 with 20 home runs, 27 stolen bases, a .773 OPS and 67 RBI on the year.
Jack Kochanowicz

LAA Starting Pitcher #64

Jack Kochanowicz allowed three runs in six innings and took the loss against the Rangers on Thursday.

Kochanowicz gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out none. He’s had five straight quality starts, but his lack of strikeouts should give fantasy managers pause. Kochanowicz has struck out 12 batters in 38 2/3 innings. You can make the argument that he’s pitched better than his 4.89 ERA, but it’s tough to recommend him as a fantasy option given his lack of strikeouts. The 23-year-old right-hander is set to face the Twins on the road next week.
Christian Moore

LAA Second Baseman

The Angels acknowledged 2024 first-round pick Christian Moore’s ailment Wednesday, calling it a left meniscus injury and saying he might be able to play again this season.

The OCR’s Jeff Fletcher reported that the ailment is a tear and is almost certainly right, but that’s not how the Angels described it. Such tears usually require surgery, whether it’s to remove the cartilage or to repair it. The former has a shorter timetable for return, but that offers no incentive at this point. Moore was hurt last Friday while playing for the Double-A Rocket City Trash Pandas, but the Angels offered no insight into the injury until tonight.
Taylor Ward

LAA Right Fielder #3

Taylor Ward went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a walk to lead the Angels to a 10-1 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Ward had an excellent day at the plate against the crosstown rivals. He drew a walk to lead off the first inning and scored on a single by Anthony Rendon. He then led off the fifth with a solo homer to extend the Angels’ lead. Ward added a base hit in the seventh and drove in another run with a single in the eighth. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .244/.315/.429 with 21 homers, 64 RBI, and four steals across 562 plate appearances.
Mickey Moniak

LAA Center Fielder #16

Mickey Moniak went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, two runs scored, and a walk against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Moniak broke the game open early, taking Bobby Miller deep for a three-run blast in the first inning to make it a 5-0 ballgame. He later drew a walk in the eighth and scored on a base hit by Jo Adell. The 26-year-old outfielder is hitting .231/.274/.402 with 13 homers, 47 RBI, and six steals across 368 plate appearances.
Griffin Canning

LAA Starting Pitcher #47

Griffin Canning allowed one run with seven strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings in a win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Canning had one of his better starts of the season against a tough Dodgers lineup. He held them scoreless through six innings before a walk and two base hits brought the one run in to score. Canning struck out seven on his way to the victory. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 5.02 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 113/56 K/BB ratio across 150 2/3 innings into a start against the Twins in Minnesota on Monday.
Reid Detmers

LAA Starting Pitcher #48

Reid Detmers fanned 10 while allowing two runs over six innings Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Detmers looked good tonight, particularly with his breaking balls. Before being sent down, he averaged 86.0 mph with his slider and 75.4 mph with his curveball this season. Tonight, he was at 87.2 mph and 74.3 mph, respectively, and the added separation seemed to pay off. Detmers is still a tough mixed-league play on a bad Angels team, but a strong finish would be nice. He’ll get the Twins next.
Ben Joyce

LAA Relief Pitcher #44

Ben Joyce punctuated his scoreless ninth Tuesday with a 105.5-mph fastball to strike out the Dodgers’ Tommy Edman in a tie game.

The 105.5-mph offering was the third fastest ever recorded by Statcast, behind a 105.8 and a 105.7 recorded by Aroldis Chapman several years ago. Joyce averaged 103.8 mph with his six fastballs tonight and struck out two of the three batters he faced in a 2-2 contest.
Niko Kavadas

LAA First Baseman #28

Niko Kavadas went 0-for-4 and struck out twice against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

It’s really not ideal to have your DH batting ninth, but the Angels do need to take a look at Kavadas, who was picked up from the Red Sox in the Luis García trade. Unfortunately, he’s just 3-for-38 with a 20/3 K/BB so far. He offers power and patience at the plate, but the strikeouts might be too much for him to overcome.
