Angels News

The Angels' recent struggles hit another low as they fell 3-8 to the Tampa Bay Rays, but the team remains upbeat thanks to a solid 5-2 stretch over the past week, boasting a +21 run differential. The injury bug continues to plague the rotation with Grayson Rodriguez hitting the 15-day IL for back issues and Drew Pomeranz designated for assignment. On a brighter note, Mike Trout is making strides in the All-Star voting, poised to advance to Phase 2, a silver lining in an otherwise tumultuous season. With a record of 29-43, the Angels still sit five games back in the division, and upcoming matchups against the Arizona Diamondbacks could either fuel their momentum or deepen their woes.
