Much like the rest of his Los Angeles Angels teammates, Anthony Rendon has had a season to forget in 2023. Rendon gave a bit more insight as to what has led to his absence, but it raised more questions than answers. Rendon has appeared in only 43 games this season due to numerous injuries. The […]

This season didn’t quite go how the Los Angeles Angels had hoped. Of course, the past decade or more hasn’t gone the way the Angels would have hoped, with their own mismanagement being a cause for it. The Angels have had two of the best players in all of baseball over the last six seasons […]

The Los Angeles Angels put their best foot forward on August 1, buying at the MLB trade deadline in an attempt to make the playoffs. This is likely the last season they have with megastar Shohei Ohtani. And future Hall of Famer Mike Trout isn’t getting any younger. Unfortunately, those efforts were all for naught. […]

One month before the end of the 2023 MLB season, Shohei Ohtani’s free agency is among the biggest stories in baseball. There has been a ton of speculation about where the Los Angeles Angels’ star might land since Opening Day. It’s hovered over the Angels’ trade deadline moves—they couldn’t have worked out worse for Los […]

Since he suffered a UCL tear, questions have been lingering about the true market value for Shohei Ohtani. One would assume that if he is unable to pitch right away, the hybrid’s contract amount will be slashed at least somewhat. Well, apparently the allure of the Los Angeles Angels superstar is strong enough to compensate […]

The Cleveland Guardians take on the Los Angeles Angels. Our MLB odds series has our Guardians Angels prediction and pick. Find out how to watch Guardians Angels. The Los Angeles Angels, on the morning of August 1 — the trade deadline — were 56-51. They were right in the thick of the chase for an […]

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward’s season ended on July 29 when he was hit in the face by a pitch from Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah. The incident gave Ward three fractures in his face/head, requiring surgery and lengthy recovery. Though the pitch took away two months out of a prime season for […]

Taking a pitch to any part of the body is never a comfortably experience. With major league pitchers slinging 80mph balls at the minimum, even an off-speed pitch can hurt a ton. During a fateful July game, though, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward suffered the worst kind of HBP: an unintentional 92mph sinker to […]

The Baltimore Orioles are on the road going for the sweep over the Los Angeles Angels Wednesday night. This game will continue our MLB odds series as we hand out an Orioles-Angels prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game. The Orioles have won the first two games of […]

The 2022-23 season has gone horribly wrong for the Los Angeles Angels. As usual, they followed the same script they’ve followed in the past few years. An encouraging, if not middling, start to the season, bringing some hope that they can get a playoff spot. This time, they added a new storyline: buying at the […]

Any Los Angeles Angels fan who has been able to avoid a tirade or daily dose of Advil should be commended for their composure and ability to withstand anguish. This season has truly been an unmitigated disaster with both the present and future of the franchise suffering one devastating blow after another. The only glimmer […]

The Los Angeles Angels are in disarray. Things have not been going well since they decided to not trade Shohei Ohtani during the MLB Trade Deadline. Their recent outings just seem to prove that a wildcard and postseason berth seems unlikely as they lost seven of their last ten games. Anthony Rendon may have also […]

The Baltimore Orioles will look to continue their magical seasons as they head out west to the “City of Stars’ to take on the Los Angeles Angels. Let’s check out our MLB odds series where our Orioles-Angels prediction and pick will be made. It is easy to forget that the Orioles were about as average as […]

The Atlanta Braves reportedly claimed utility player Andrew Velasquez off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels, reports Sam Blum of The Athletic. He was ultimately optioned to Triple-A. The move comes prior to Atlanta’s series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Velasquez has previously played with the Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Guardians, Baltimore Orioles, and New […]

Shohei Ohtani’s unfortunate injury adds to the avalanche of tragedies that have beset the Los Angeles Angels’ 2023 season. Ohtani, the runaway candidate to win AL MVP, tore his UCL, preventing him from performing his pitching duties for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, there’s a glass half-full approach to the Angels star’s major injury. Some pundits […]

The Los Angeles Angels’ playoff hopes have, once again, gone by the wayside despite making a few moves prior to the trade deadline. Just to further rub salt on the Angels’ wounds, Shohei Ohtani proceeded to tear the UCL on his throwing elbow, preventing him from suiting up on the mound for the foreseeable future, […]

Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani was reportedly scratched from the lineup ahead of Monday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles due to right oblique tightness, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic. The timing of the scratch was confusing, as Shohei Ohtani had reportedly received good news regarding his new UCL tear. The reason for […]

Shohei Ohtani has been facing the possibility of a second Tommy John surgery, something that could place his entire 2024 season at risk. It’s still uncertain whether or not Ohtani will undergo the surgery for a second time, but his agent revealed a massive injury update on Monday, via Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles […]

The Los Angeles Angels have been without third baseman Anthony Rendon for the majority of the 2023 season, and he declined giving an update on his lower leg injury that has kept him on the 60-day injured list for an extended period of time when asked on Monday. “No habla ingles today,” Anthony Rendon said, […]

The Baltimore Orioles are on the road to take on the Los Angeles Angels for the start of a three game series. This game will continue our MLB odds series as we hand out an Orioles-Angels prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game. The Orioles lead the Tampa […]

Sunday might have been the perfect encapsulation of Shohei Ohtani’s career to date with the Los Angeles Angels. Ohtani once again entered his name into MLB’s record books. And once again, his team as a whole failed to impress. After stealing second base on Sunday, Ohtani became just the 8th player in MLB history to […]

Shohei Ohtani’s impending free agency is made complicated by his UCL injury. The Los Angeles Angels’ two-way phenom was just about certain to command a historic deal in the open market. He very well still could, though the prospect of him not pitching in 2024 is very real. Tommy John surgery is the most likely […]

Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani may be dealing with a torn UCL, but that hasn’t stopped teams from being wary of him. He may be limited now, but that doesn’t mean he’s no longer dangerous. That is why when the Oakland Athletics faced the Angels on Saturday, they thoroughly prepared for the Japanese superstar. […]

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is clearly growing concerned about the team’s future. Despite having two of the best players in the game today in him and Shohei Ohtani, the Halos have continuously failed to make significant progress. In fact, they are on their eighth straight losing campaign despite the fan base having high […]

This week was an absolute circus for four now ex-members of the Los Angeles Angels. Hunter Renfroe, Matt Moore, Lucas Giolito, and Reynaldo Lopez. All of them were placed on waivers, with Giolito and Lopez just recently coming over to the team at the trade deadline. With all the dust settled, Giolito, Lopez, and Moore […]

Shohei Ohtani’s elbow injury situation has often been compared to Bryce Harper’s, as the Philadelphia Phillies superstar underwent Tommy John surgery during this past offseason and returned as a DH early in 2023. However, Ohtani’s already undergone Tommy John surgery once before, causing this scenario to be quite different for the Los Angeles Angels two-way phenom, […]

Shohei Ohtani’s UCL injury and the prospect of getting a second Tommy John surgery are looming over the future of the Los Angeles Angels star. Not only would getting the procedure in 2023 prevent Shohei Ohtani from pitching in 2024, but it could also affect him at the plate. It’s a fact that Philadelphia Phillies’ […]

Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani unfortunately tore his UCL in his throwing arm on August 23rd, although the injury has not kept him out of the lineup. With his massive MLB free agency coming up, many are questioning why he hasn’t already opted for surgery so that he can return as soon as possible. […]

Once again, the Los Angeles Angels have been a massive disappointment. Entering the 2023 season, many hoped for this team to find some modicum of success. With Shohei Ohtani’s impending free agency, there was pressure for this team to, at the very least, make the playoffs. Unfortunately, despite this “pressure”, Los Angeles is miles away […]

The Los Angeles Angels have, once again, fallen off the playoff race pace. Despite making multiple trades before the deadline (then later waiving those acquisitions) to bolster the Shohei Ohtani-led roster, the Angels will, more likely than not, miss the postseason for the ninth consecutive year. Nevertheless, that doesn’t make the last 28 games of […]

The Cleveland Guardians claimed SP Lucas Giolito, RP Reynaldo Lopez, and RP Matt Moore on waivers from the Los Angeles Angels Thursday. The Angels saw a number of players get claimed after placing them on waivers, as the Halos’ trade deadline decision to buy clearly did not work out. The Guardians are now seemingly trying […]

Nearly a dozen players from five different MLB teams were placed on waivers earlier this week with a Thursday deadline to claim. Six of those players were taken by new MLB teams, with the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds each adding multiple players. The Guardians took three Los Angeles Angels pitchers, including starter Lucas Giolito […]

The Cleveland Guardians have reportedly claimed SP Lucas Giolito, RP Reynaldo Lopez, and RP Matt Moore on waivers from the Los Angeles Angels, reports ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The claims come just a month after Giolito and Lopez were acquired by the Angels from the Chicago White Sox in a trade. The deal obviously didn’t go […]

It’s home run number 300 for Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper! During Wednesday’s game between the Phillies and the Los Angeles Angels, the Angels were leading 7-6 when Harper hit a clutch two run home run in the bottom of the 8th inning to help the Phillies retake the lead from the Angels. The run […]

The Miami Marlins are seeing their playoff chances start to fade and are looking for some bullpen help to reverse their fortunes. According to Bob Nightengale, the Marlins are expected to put in claims for at least one of Reynaldo Lopez, Matt Moore or Dominic Leone, all of whom were placed on waivers by the […]

The Los Angeles Angels shocked the MLB world Tuesday, placing a number of key players on waivers. Notably, star pitcher Lucas Giolito was placed on waivers just a month after being acquired by the Angels for highly-regarded prospects. The Angels’ messy situation is a conversation for another time, but now Giolito is wondering which team […]
