- AL West Notes: Pena, Mastrobuoni, Crawford, Neto
by Mark Polishuk
16 Mar 2026 at 3:21amJeremy Pena provided The Athletic’s Chandler Rome with an update on the fingertip fracture that has put Pena’s Opening Day availability in question. The Astros shortstop has been able to partake in most baseball activities, with just throwing and swinging with both hands remaining on the checklist before he can consider a return to game action. Pena has played in four Spring Training games and two World Baseball Classic games with the Dominican Republic, and it remains to be seen how much m…
- Injury Notes: Vasil, Neto, Jung, Wheeler
by AJ Eustace
15 Mar 2026 at 3:00amWhite Sox right-hander Mike Vasil left today’s Spring Training game with elbow soreness, the team announced. He is set to undergo further testing. Vasil started the game with 3 2/3 scoreless innings before issuing two walks, calling for the trainer, and ultimately departing. That continued his effort to build up as a starter after working mostly in relief in 2025. In 101 innings over 47 appearances (three starts), he posted an excellent 2.50 ERA, albeit with less-shiny peripherals including a…
- Robert Stephenson Sidelined With Possible UCL Damage
by Mark Polishuk
14 Mar 2026 at 4:41pm11:41AM: In what Stephenson described as “heartbreaking” news to Jeff Fletcher, the setback is related to possible UCL damage. Another surgery certainly appears to be a possibility, but Stephenson will first visit Dr. Keith Meister to discuss any non-surgical methods.
“There is concern right now for the state of my UCL, and my flexor,” Stephenson said. “I?m going to see if there?s a way we can rehab this thing and be able to pitch this year, but I don?t know what it looks like….It?s three y…
- Poll: Who Will Play Second Base For The Angels?
by Nick Deeds
14 Mar 2026 at 12:18am2026 looks likely to be another year of the Angels more or less spinning their wheels. With minimal changes to the roster coming off a 90 loss season (even in spite of a relatively healthy season for Mike Trout), the Halos will need a lot to go their way if they’re going to have any hope of being competitive this year.
One of the first things that the team will need to decide is who’s going to play second base. Luis Rengifo walked in free agency, leaving a hole at the keystone. Rather than br…
- Latest On Angels? Rotation Mix
by Anthony Franco
12 Mar 2026 at 2:25amThe Angels entered camp with three-fifths of their rotation set. Yusei Kikuchi, José Soriano and Reid Detmers were locked in. Offseason reclamation pickups Grayson Rodriguez and Alek Manoah started the spring as the favorites for the final two spots.
Neither has made a great first impression. Rodriguez has allowed seven runs with a 7:6 strikeout-to-walk ratio through eight innings. He has at least had encouraging velocity, averaging 95 mph on his fastball. He’s a wild card after missing the p…
- Angels Notes: Candelario, Infield, Lowe
by Darragh McDonald
10 Mar 2026 at 8:05pmVeteran infielder Jeimer Candelario is having a strong camp with the Angels and has been doing some drills at second base, reports Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. ?We?re just seeing what our options are,? manager Kurt Suzuki said. ?Candy?s been swinging the bat really well. He?s been playing really well.?
Candelario, 32, has some strong major league seasons on his track record but was hobbled by injuries in the past two campaigns. For what it’s worth, he has posted good numbers s…
- Injury Notes: Gonzalez, Stephenson, Dunn, Edman
by AJ Eustace
7 Mar 2026 at 10:51pmAs of last week, Red Sox utility infielder Romy Gonzalez was experiencing shoulder troubles and received a platelet-rich plasma injection. He admitted that he would likely miss Opening Day, though he may end up missing significantly more time. Today, Sean McAdam of MassLive adds that Gonzalez will visit a shoulder specialist next week to see if he needs to undergo surgery. Gonzalez opined that surgery “is not a season-ender by any means, in my opinion,” though any longer absence for the lefty…
- Angels To Create TV Network
by Darragh McDonald
6 Mar 2026 at 9:00pmThere’s a bit more clarity on the broadcast situation for the Angels. Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports that the club has an agreement in place to purchase a portion of Main Street Sports and launch their own TV network. Some final details are still being worked out, so it won’t be officially announced until next week.
The new network will also involve the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings and has not yet been named, but it will replace FanDuel Sports Network on cable and satellite pr…
- Angels Notes: Neto, Moore, Lowe
by Anthony Franco
3 Mar 2026 at 3:36amThe Angels and franchise shortstop Zach Neto worked out a $4.15MM arbitration settlement in January. That covered the first of four years of arbitration eligibility for the former first-round pick, who reached Super Two status this offseason.
If the sides discussed the possibility of any kind of longer-term deal, those talks apparently didn’t progress. Neto’s agent, Ryan Hamill of CAA, tells Bill Shaikin of The Los Angeles Times that the Angels did not make any official long-term offers over …

by Mark Polishuk
21 Feb 2026 at 1:38amAngels owner Arte Moreno spoke to reporters (including Jeff Fletcher of Orange County Register and MLB.com’s Rhett Bollinger) today about various topics related to the team. Fans are encouraged to check out the article for all the details, but Moreno’s comments about the Halos’ payroll and uncertain broadcast situation are particularly noteworthy.
The two issues are naturally connected. Last season, the Angels were on FanDuel Sports Network West, owned by Main Street Sports. The company ha…
- Will The Angels Make A Late Offseason Splash?
by Darragh McDonald
19 Feb 2026 at 8:26pmIt’s been a relatively quiet offseason for the Angels and they are currently slated to open 2026 with a notably lower payroll than last year. What’s unclear is if they plan to use that difference to make a move before the season starts or if they’re simply cutting costs.
The Halos began the offseason with some initial savings. A number of players hit free agency, taking some money off the books. 2025 was the last year of Tyler Anderson‘s three-year, $39MM deal, which paid him $13MM annually. …
