Taylor Ward Good To Go For Spring Training
10 months agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder 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.
