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 […]

If the 2023 MLB season is to be remembered for one thing, it would undoubtedly be the incredible performance of Shohei Ohtani. Right from the outset of the season, baseball fans found themselves captivated by this two-way superstar. A significant part of this intrigue stemmed from the anticipation of witnessing something unprecedented — observing him […]

Shohei Ohtani is one of the best players in baseball because of the fact that he is an elite pitcher and hitter. There are very few baseball players in the history of the game that compare to Ohtani because of that. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles Angels star will not be able to pitch for the […]

Los Angeles Angels superstars Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout are both dealing with injuries. Trout was placed on the IL, while Ohtani will not pitch for the remainder of the season. For now, Ohtani will continue to hit, however. Questions have surfaced about Ohtani’s future as a pitcher following his torn UCL injury. Trout isn’t worried […]

Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon have both missed a significant amount of time due to injuries. Trout remains beloved among the fans though, while many have become frustrated with Rendon. Rendon reportedly hasn’t handled his injury situation well, something that Angels writer Sam Blum of The Athletic pointed out during a recent podcast. “I don’t […]

Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani is expected by many to receive a $600 million dollar contract in free agency following the 2023 season. However, the Angels two-way phenom was diagnosed with a torn UCL injury on Wednesday. Since Ohtani’s value stems from his abilities as both a pitcher and a hitter, will the looming […]

It’s the worst day of the season for the Los Angeles Angels faithful, and perhaps for all MLB fans in general. This is after it was revealed that Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout have sustained injuries that will sideline them for a significant period. Ohtani left Wednesday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds due to what […]

The Los Angeles Angels can’t get a break. Both of their superstars in Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout got devastating injury updates late Wednesday. Ohtani, who exited the Cincinnati Reds game, has been diagnosed with a UCL tear, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. “Shohei Ohtani has a tear in his UCL, Angels GM Perry […]

Mike Trout is back. For the first time since July 3, the 3x American League MVP suits up for the Los Angeles Angels. He’s in tonight’s lineup, starting in center field and batting second against the Cincinnati Reds. This means everything to the Angels, as making the playoffs could persuade Shohei Ohtani to re-sign with […]

Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to Shohei Ohtani’s future in MLB. The general belief is that Ohtani wants to win, something his current team hasn’t done much of. In fact, Ohtani’s only real competitive baseball since signing with the Angels came in the World Baseball Classic. With the Angels likely to miss the postseason […]

It is difficult to recall a baseball team more desperate to reach the MLB postseason than the Los Angeles Angels (60-63, 7.5 games back). They have made every unconventional move imaginable to stay in the American League Wild Card hunt. It has resulted in further anguish and excessive mockery. There might still be one white […]

The Los Angeles Angels went for it. They could easily have traded Shohei Ohtani, perhaps the greatest baseball player of his generation and even beyond but also a pending free agent after this season, for an absolute treasure trove bounty of a haul. But, with a wild card spot within their grasp, they bought. They […]

The Los Angeles Angels’ promise to Shohei Ohtani of at least a wild card appearance is slowly turning dimmer. Their record now sits below .500 after they had three wins and seven losses in the last 10 games. Phil Nevin can throw any sort of schematic or new lineup but they still lack firepower. One […]

It seems like every time Shohei Ohtani steps on the diamond for the Los Angeles Angels, he achieves some sort of milestone. Whether it’s breaking an MLB record, or breaking a personal record, he is always reaching new heights. That happened again on Saturday in the Angels game against the Houston Astros as Ohtani blasted […]

The Los Angeles Angels have made a commitment to go for it and make a run at a playoff spot in the American League this year. Yes, the Angels have the best all-around player in the game in Shohei Ohtani, but they have been without slugger Mike Trout since breaking his hamate bone last month. […]

The 2023 World Baseball Classic featured Team USA versus Team Japan in the championship game. Los Angeles Angels stars Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani represented their teams and faced off in the final at-bat of the game in a legendary moment. Ohtani ended up striking out Trout to clinch the victory for Team Japan. Recently, […]

The Los Angeles Angels should have traded Shohei Ohtani. It’s a sentence Angels fans probably don’t want to read, and that’s understandable. But the Halos have been stuck in the middle of mediocrity for years now, and the team needs to hit the reset button. In 2023, the Halos feature one of the best rosters […]

The Los Angeles Angels’ centerfield looks dull without the presence of Mike Trout. He has been out due to a wrist injury but a timetable has yet to be released for his return. Phil Nevin and Shohei Ohtani will surely need him back. This is if they want to have a chance in vying for […]

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie Corbin Carroll just reached 25 home runs and 35 stolen bases with a stolen base Monday night against the San Francisco Giants. It took Carroll the second-fewest amount of games (134) in MLB history to do so, according to ESPN Stats & Info. The only player that needed less games? Mike Trout, […]

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward suffered a painful injury over the weekend when he got hit in the head by a pitch from Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah. He was initially placed on the 10-day injured list but apparently would need more time to recover from the facial fractures he sustained, as he […]

The Los Angeles Angels are going for it. Instead of trading Shohei Ohtani away, the Halos are keeping Ohtani and buying at the trade deadline. The team already acquired SP Lucas Giolito and RP Reynaldo Lopez from the Chicago White Sox to bolster their pitching staff. Once superstar Mike Trout returns from injury, who’s expected […]

At this point, with less than a week away from the MLB trade deadline, no one is sure what is going to happen. That’s the exciting part. But this year, there’s a little more added anticipation as fans are awaiting to see if baseballs greatest player in over a century, Shohei Ohtani, will finally be […]

The Los Angeles Angels have been without Mike Trout due to a left hamate fracture for a little over two weeks, and he is currently performing some activities in an attempt to make his return. Mike Trout is currently back to throwing and doing mobility and grip strength work after having stitches removed, according to […]

Mike Trout is currently on the injured list. The Los Angeles Angels superstar’s timetable remains fairly uncertain, but he provided a major update on Friday, per Jeff Fletcher. “Mike Trout says he feels good. The stitches are out but his hand still has a big ugly purple wound, so that’s got to heal more before […]

Los Angeles Angels pitcher and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani has made history in just his sixth MLB season. Ohtani became just the third player (Mike Trout, Troy Glaus) in Angels franchise history to record multiple seasons with 35 home runs, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Glaus, a member of the Anaheim Angels’ 2002 World […]

Fox Sports analyst and former New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has a wild idea on how to save the Los Angeles Angels. Perhaps it’s one that’s in the back of a lot of people’s minds but no one is daring enough to ever quite say it because the possibilities of it happening are […]

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled pitcher Zack Weiss and also optioned pitcher Gerardo Reyes to Triple-A Salt Lake, the team announced via Twitter. The moves also came on the heels of Mike Trout’s injury. Weiss had already seen action for the Angels earlier this season, making two appearances for the team for a total […]

Just when it looked like the Los Angeles Angels were turning a corner and gearing up for a playoff push, all momentum was halted when superstar Mike Trout was placed on the injured list on Tuesday with a hamate fracture in his left hand. With Trout expected to be out for six-to-eight weeks, the question […]

The week before the 2023 MLB All-Star Game has been the week from hell for the Los Angeles Angels. Mike Trout suffered an injury Monday that is expected to keep him off the field until August. One day later, Shohei Ohtani and Anthony Rendon left the Angels’ game prematurely with ailments of their own. The […]

Mike Trout is undoubtedly one of the most talented players of this generation. With his remarkable combination of power, speed, fielding prowess, and consistent hitting, Trout has often drawn comparisons to some of the all-time greats the game has offered. One that comes to mind is the legendary Ken Griffey Jr., but perhaps now for […]

The Los Angeles Angels just can’t catch a break. After Mike Trout headed to the injured list on Tuesday, the LA franchise was dealt with another injury issue, this time to Anthony Rendon. Rendon was forced to leave Tuesday’s showdown with the San Diego Padres after he hit a foul ball that end up striking […]

Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout is expected to miss four to eight weeks after suffering a wrist injury. The primary concern is of course for the Angels and how they will move forward without one of the best players in the game. However, Trout’s injury also left a void in the MLB All-Star Game. […]

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout suffered a freak injury on Monday night while fouling off a pitch. He grimaced in pain after a swing against the San Diego Padres, and it was obvious that he was hurt immediately. The Angels updated the press shortly after, saying the wrist injury will require surgery and he […]

The Los Angeles Angels traveled to face the San Diego Padres in a Southern California series. However, the first game of the series did not go as planned for the Angels. The Padres got the 10-3 win, but the more important matter was All-Star outfielder Mike Trout leaving the game early with an injury. Now, […]

Mike Trout suffered an apparent injury after fouling off a pitch in Monday’s Los Angeles Angels-San Diego Padres clash. After the swing, Trout displayed signs of pain in his hand/wrist area. The Angels immediately sent a trainer out and the superstar was ultimately removed from the game, via FOX Sports: MLB. The severity of Trout’s […]

Mike Trout is looking to stay away from the IL yet again. The Los Angeles Angels superstar injured his left wrist in a loss to the San Diego Padres, leading to immediate removal from the game and X-rays. The Angels have dealt with numerous injuries already this season and could now lose their star outfielder. […]

It is still incredible to think that Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout both play on the same team. The Los Angeles Angels are more than just lucky to have those two all-time greats. On Sunday, Ohtani and Trout put on another show at the plate for the Halos, as each blasted a home run to […]

The Los Angeles Angels are performing fairly well in 2023. Mike Trout believes winning will be the key to keeping Shohei Ohtani in Anaheim. Trout recently discussed why he thinks it’s about more than just “the money” for Ohtani in free agency, per Foul Territory. “We got to win… we got to get to the […]

The Los Angeles Angels have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in recent years because of their myriad star players. Among them are Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. Angels fans have thoroughly enjoyed watching Trout rack up stats en route to MVP consideration on a year-in, year-out basis. The pitching and hitting […]
