Taylor Ward Good To Go For Spring Training
Taylor Ward (face) will be "good to go, Day 1" for spring training after he was hit by a pitch last July that resulted in three facial fractures and a broken nose that required surgery. Ward has been hitting in the cages since Nov. 15 and had his last doctor's checkup in Anaheim just over a week ago. The Angels will need the 30-year-old to step up in 2024 now that two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani is with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ward will be a starter this year for the Halos in left field after hitting .253/.335/.421 with 14 home runs, 18 doubles, 47 RBI, four stolen bases and 60 runs scored in 97 games played. He's unlikely to return to his All-Star level of 2022 when he hit .281 with a career-high 23 home runs, but Ward can still provide fantasy managers with solid contact and power skills in the later rounds.
