For the second time in three nights, it would require extra innings. This time however, the Astros wouldn’t be as fortunate as they were 48 hours earlier in the series opener, dropping the finale to the Angels by a score of 3-2. Former Astro Jose Siri would deliver the final blow with an […]

The Los Angeles Angels gave Trey Mancini a chance to continue playing when he thought his career was over. The veteran first baseman revealed he was ready to retire before the club called and offered him another major league opportunity.

When I'm hired as Chief Home Run Derby Officer for MLB, here's who I'm putting in the Derby, no questions asked.
It has been an interesting past few weeks for veteran Chris Taylor. The former Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star most recently appeared in the minor leagues with the Los Angeles Angels. It was reported in May that Taylor had retired. However, he was later listed on the injured list, leading to speculation that Taylor had un-retired. […] The post Ex-Dodgers star Chris Taylor breaks silence after retirement confusion appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Kurt Suzuki was announced as the Angels’ new skipper on Oct 21, 2025. Almost a month following the end of the 2025 season. Suzuki spent 16 years in the majors, playing for five teams, including the Halos in 2021 and 2022. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQFat2ckjaa/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Suzuki has been tasked with turning around a franchise that holds the longest […] The post Did the Angels Make a Mistake in Hiring Kurt Suzuki? appeared first on The Lead .
Will Smith has not appeared in a game for the Dodgers since their 1-0 walk-off win over the Angels on Friday. He missed the final two games of the weekend series and was unavailable to play during the Dodgers 12-2 romp over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Neck stiffness has been the culprit behind Smith’s […]
If it was a title fight, it would’ve been stopped early. A TKO. The Astros were soundly defeated by the Angels in Anaheim by the score of 10-1. Kai-Wei Teng, who back in March boasted a 2 1/3 scoreless outing in Anaheim, couldn’t get out of his own way on Tuesday night, imploding. The final […]
No matter how bad the Los Angeles Angels have been over the years, Mike Trout has repeatedly insisted he was not interested in going elsewhere. Shohei Ohtani left. But Trout still remained steadfast. He was staying in Orange County. Maybe now, after watching Ohtani win a couple of World Series with the Dodgers, would Trout reconsider? He hasn't been in the postseason since 2014, the first of his three MVP seasons. And the Angels haven't had a winning record since 2015. If Trout fin...
The Angels announced another minor league deal with Shaun Anderson. He’s back at Triple-A Salt Lake in a non-roster capacity. Halos fans are familiar with the shuffle at this point. Anderson is out of options and needs to get through waivers every time the Angels want to send him back to Triple-A. They select his contract, […]
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (31-37) continue a six-game road trip with the second game of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels tonight at Angel Stadium (25-42).

Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz told members of the media, including Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register, that he will be undergoing Tommy John surgery. He’ll be out of action until the second half of the 2027 season. He is already on the 15-day injured list and will be transferred to the 60-day IL as […]
Logan O’Hoppe walked off the field feeling terrible. He made a big mistake in the 10th inning that gave the Houston Astros a 5-4 win on Monday night. The Los Angeles Angels are having a bad season with a 25-41 record, and this was another painful loss they wanted to avoid. The Angels were leading […] The post $2.6M Angels Star “Sick to Stomach” As LA’s Struggles Continue in Tough Loss to Astros appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Astros Road trip began with a little extra flavor for all, going 10 innings from Anaheim and in the process, producing one of the bigger comebacks of the year. From Jose Altuve’s daring baserunning to Brice Matthews one hop rocket throw to home plate, negating a slide by Mike Trout, it was […]
The Astros came back from a ninth-inning deficit to take an extra-inning win tonight over the Angels. That improves their record to 31-37. They’ve evened out after an 8-18 April but haven’t really cut into the early-season hole they dug, playing slightly above .500 since the beginning of May. That would ordinarily point toward a […]
Yoán Moncada will require surgery to address his right knee injury, reports Francys Romero. Specifics on the procedure aren’t clear, nor is it known whether Moncada is expected back this season. He’s out until at least mid-July after the Angels transferred him to the 60-day injured list this evening. Moncada seemingly never fully recovered from […]

Catcher Chadwick Tromp elected free agency over the weekend, according to the MLB.com transaction log.

He was called up in mid-May when Drake Baldwin went on the […]
For the first time in three years, Trey Mancini is in the big leagues. The Angels selected the veteran first baseman onto the MLB roster before tonight’s series opener with the Astros. Mancini is starting at first base and batting seventh against his old team, who are sending Spencer Arrighetti to the mound. The Halos also […]
The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers by a final score of 13-5 on Sunday. It was a good victory for an Angels ball club that has been struggling. Catcher Sebastian Rivero — who was batting last in the lineup — led the way with five hits and six RBIs. Angels manager Kurt […] The post Angels’ Kurt Suzuki gets 100% real on catcher’s 5-hit breakout performance vs. Dodgers appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Right-hander Shaun Anderson has elected free agency after being sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after the Angels designated him for assignment a few days ago. The most likely outcome from here is that Anderson re-signs with the Angels via a new minor […]
Veteran right-hander Taijuan Walker has been granted his release by the Angels, per the transaction log at MiLB.com. Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports that Walker, who signed a minor league deal with the Angels a few weeks ago, had an opt-out in that deal, which he triggered. Walker, 33, was released by […]
The Dodgers had a winning week, taking four of seven games, by splitting with the Diamondbacks in Arizona, then winning two of three at home against the Angels. But they both started and ended the week with losses, frustrating in different ways. On Monday in Phoenix, they were burned by a lack of offense. On […]
