Angels Opt Out of Stadium Lease

The Los Angeles Angels are opting out of their contract with Angels stadium. Club president John Carpino said the team is hoping to find ways to improve the fan experience and that they are looking at all options. It is unclear what this means for the Angels long-term, but it shouldn't have a huge impact […]


Angels Interview Brandon Hyde for Manager Job

The Los Angeles Angels have interviewed Cubs bench coach Brandon Hyde for their vacant managerial position. Hyde has also interviewed for the open Rangers position as well. The Angels and Mike Scioscia departed after nearly 20 years together. Hyde has been coaching since 2004, first with the Marlins and then in the Cubs organization from […]


Shohei Ohtani Has Tommy John Surgery

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani underwent successful Tommy John surgery on Monday. He will not pitch at all in 2019, although he is expected to serve as LA's primary designated hitter all season. Ohtani hit .285/.361/.564 with 22 home runs, 61 RBI and 10 steals in 2018. He will be a draftable […]


Jefry Marte a Solid DFS Option

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jefry Marte is starting on Sunday, batting cleanup. He is taking the spot of Jose Fernandez, who is sitting against the left-handed Brett Anderson. Marte has not been particularly good this year, but he has shown power against left-handers and is hitting behind Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. He's not […]


Andrelton Simmons Out of Sunday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons is out of the lineup for the season finale on Sunday. Simmons finishes the 2018 season hitting .292 with 11 home runs and 10 stolen bases. He is replaced by Kaleb Cowart at short, with Sherman Johnson starting at second base. Neither of them represent good options in fantasy […]


Justin Upton Out of Sunday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels left fielder Justin Upton is not in Sunday's lineup. Eric Young is playing left field in his absence, batting sixth. Assuming Upton does not pinch hit, he will finish the 2018 season with a .257 average, 30 home runs and eight stolen bases. Young is a desperation play for those in need […]


Tyler Skaggs Finishes Season With ERA Over 4.00

Los Angeles Angels starter Tyler Skaggs made his final start of the season on Saturday. He tossed 3 1/3 innings, giving up three earned runs while walking two and striking out three. Skaggs' ERA climbed to 4.02 on the season. He had a 2.62 ERA on July 25, but things really unraveled after that. Regardless, […]


Andrelton Simmons Swipes Tenth Base

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and his tenth stolen base of the season. Simmons is now slashing .292/.337/.417 with 11 home runs and ten stolen bases on the year. He has been a rock solid middle infield option in all fantasy formats, and will be again in 2019.


Jose Fernandez Not in Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is not in Wednesday's lineup against Yohander Mendez and the Texas Rangers. Fernandez has been LA's primary first baseman over the last month, but will give way to the right-handed hitting Jefry Marte, who is batting sixth. Fernandez is slashing .261/.293/.378 with two home runs and one steal […]


Hansel Robles Earns Save for Angels

Los Angeles Angels reliever Hansel Robles earned his first save in an Angels uniform. He threw a scoreless ninth inning, walking one and striking out one. The Angels have been going with Blake Parker (who pitched the eighth inning) and Ty Buttrey in save situations. Robles now has a 3.76 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP […]


Matt Shoemaker Strikes out Seven on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starter Matt Shoemaker threw five strong innings on Tuesday, giving up one run and striking out seven. He only gave up four hits and walked zero. Shoemaker has yet to post a quality start, although he has thrown five or more innings with less than three runs in four outings. It's unclear […]


Andrelton Simmons Returns on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (knee) is back on Tuesday, batting sixth and playing shortstop. Simmons left Sunday's game with a knee injury, and was held out of Monday's contest as a precaution. However, an MRI came back clean and Simmons is able to return after just one day away. The shortstop is hitting […]


Andrelton Simmons Out on Monday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Andrelton Simmons (knee) is not in Monday's lineup. Simmons left the game on Sunday with a knee injury, although he had stated he expected to play today. The Angels are likely just being cautious with their star shortstop, who is hitting .296 with 11 home runs and nine steals. Kaleb Cowart […]


Justin Upton Not in Monday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels left fielder Justin Upton is not in Monday's lineup against the Texas Rangers. Upton is hitting .262 with 30 home runs on the season, remaining one of the strongest power hitters in fantasy. He is likely just getting a day off, being replaced by Michael Hermosillo. Make sure to remove Upton from […]


Jose Fernandez Out of Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is not in Wednesday's lineup. Jefry Marte is starting in his place, batting fifth. The left-handed hitting Fernandez is likely getting a day off against the left-handed Brett Anderson. Marte is a decent DFS play this evening, hitting behind Mike Trout, Justin Upton and Shohei Ohtani.


Kole Calhoun Out of Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun is out of the lineup on Wednesday. The Angels are facing left-hander Brett Anderson, so the left-handed hitting Calhoun will take a seat. Jabari Blash is playing right field in his place, batting seventh. Andrelton Simmons has been moved to the leadoff spot. Calhoun should be back in […]


Angels Recall Sherman Johnson

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled infielder Sherman Johnson. To make room on the active roster, they have added starter Nick Tropeano (shoulder) to the 60-day DL. Tropeano was not expected to pitch again this season, so this has no bearing on his status. Johnson, 28, has been in LA's system since 2012. He will […]


Jose Fernandez Batting Second on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez has been bumped to second in the order on Tuesday. Fernandez has been hitting seventh, but David Fletcher's hamstring injury may keep him out for the rest of the season. That allows Fernandez to hit after Kole Calhoun and ahead of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, a considerably […]


David Fletcher Out of Tuesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (hamstring) is not in the lineup on Tuesday. Kaleb Cowart is playing second base in his absence, batting eighth. First baseman Jose Fernandez has moved up to second, where Fletcher had been hitting previously. Fletcher suffered a left hamstring strain on Sunday, and although it has not been officially […]


Tyler Skaggs Could Rejoin Angels Next Week

Los Angeles Angels starter Tyler Skaggs (back) says he is ready to go. He threw a bullpen session on Tuesday and has another one scheduled for Sunday. If all goes well, he could rejoin the team later in the week. Skaggs has not pitched since August 11, but he has a 3.78 ERA, a 1.31 […]


Taylor Ward Out of Saturday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Taylor Ward is out of the lineup on Saturday against the Mariners. There has been no report of an injury, so this is likely just a day off for the slumping rookie. Kaleb Cowart is batting ninth and playing third in his place. He is not a good option in […]


Jose Fernandez Continues to Start at First Base

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is in the lineup on Friday, batting seventh and playing first base. Fernandez has now started six games in a row, and has cemented himself as LA's primary option at first base. He is slashing .275/.310/.450 with two home runs and a stolen base in September, and is […]


Justin Upton Blasts Solo Home Run

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run on Thursday, his 27th of the year. Upton is now hitting .261 with 27 home runs, 79 RBI and seven stolen bases. He is a solid source of power over the next couple of weeks.


Angels Recall Parker Bridwell

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled right-hander Parker Bridwell. Bridwell has only made one start for the Angels this season, giving up six runs in 1 2/3 innings. He didn't have much success at Triple-A Salt Lake either, pitching to an 8.68 ERA in six starts, with a 19/9 K/BB ratio. Bridwell should not be […]


Taylor Ward Out of Tuesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Taylor Ward is out of the lineup on Tuesday. Kaleb Cowart is batting eighth and playing third base in his absence. Ward has hit .214 with three home runs since getting recalled. Neither are worth a roster spot except in very deep leagues. Cowart is not a DFS play today.


Andrew Heaney Electric on Sunday

Los Angeles Angels left-hander Andrew Heaney was absolutely masterful on Sunday, tossing seven scoreless innings and striking out 12. He gave up three hits and walked none. Heaney has been electric lately, with a stunning 33/2 K/BB ratio in his last three outings. He is one of the strongest starters heading into the fantasy playoffs, […]


Angels Recall Williams Jerez

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled right-hander Williams Jerez from Triple-A. With rosters expanded, Jerez is very likely going to spend the rest of the season in LA's bullpen. In nine big league innings, Jerez has a 6.00 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. Unless your league is very deep and counts holds, Jerez should be ignored […]


Justin Upton Returns to Lineup Friday

Los Angeles Angels left fielder Justin Upton (head) is back in the lineup on Friday, batting fourth and playing left field. Upton has been out since Sept. 1 with a head injury. His return pushes Jabari Blash to the bench. Upton has hit .265 with 26 home runs on the season and is an excellent […]


Mike Trout Back on Friday

Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout is back in the lineup on Friday, batting third and playing center field. Trout took a day off after getting hit by a pitch on Tuesday, but after two days off he is back and ready to go. He should be back in all starting lineups going forward.


Tommy John Surgery Recommended For Shohei Ohtani

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani had an MRI on his elbow which revealed new UCL damage. It has been recommended that he have Tommy John surgery. This is a huge blow for the Angels, who just got him back for one start after months away from the mound. The Angels have not confirmed […]
