Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim news, rumors and injuriesWed, 16 Apr 2014 16:29:00 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim OF Kole Calhoun (ankle) is dealing with a serious ligament sprain and will be out four to six weeks, according to manager Mike Scioscia. Fantasy Tip: It couldn't be a worse time for the Angels, who just lost Josh Hamilton (thumb) for a similar timetable. Collin Cowgill is the main beneficiary in right field, and he should now be owned in all AL leagues. Brennan Boesch could wind up in a platoon with Cowgill, too. Share: Angels | Ryan Brasier to 60-day DL Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:14:27 -0700 The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim moved RP Ryan Brasier (elbow) to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday, April 16. Share: Angels | Not looking at Joel Hanrahan Wed, 16 Apr 2014 11:43:18 -0700 The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are not among the teams looking at free-agent RP Joel Hanrahan (Red Sox). Share: Angels | David Freese searching for new stance Wed, 16 Apr 2014 09:42:04 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 3B David Freese was dropped to the seventh spot in the batting order Tuesday, April 15, and he responded by hitting two singles. However, he's still hitting .170 (8-for-47) with a .231 on-base percentage and a .234 slugging percentage to start the year. Freese says he's not worried, but he has three singles and 10 strikeouts in 21 at-bats since OF Josh Hamilton (thumb) landed on the disabled list. "We have to get David in a comfort zone, and sometimes changing the neighborhood helps," manager Mike Scioscia said. "When David gets going, he's a big part of the middle of our lineup, but he's obviously searching for some things right now." Freese, who is typically hot to start the year, insists he's not trying too hard to impress his new team. He's been studying film and working with hitting coaches Dave Hansen and Paul Sorrento to find a more comfortable stance that will help him use his hands to drive the ball the other way. Fantasy Tip: It's highly unlikely that Freese ever matches his 2012 peak again, so you'd be better off expecting numbers similar to what he achieved in his final year in St. Louis. Until he gets going again, you might want to think about benching him. Remember, he can be very streaky. Share: Angels | Albert Pujols' streak ends Wed, 16 Apr 2014 06:58:32 -0700 Los Angeles Angels 1B Albert Pujols' 10-game hitting streak came to an end Tuesday, April 15. Share: Angels | Kole Calhoun headed to DL Wed, 16 Apr 2014 05:13:11 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim OF Kole Calhoun (ankle) is headed to the 15-day disabled list with an ankle injury. The team could look to acquire OF Sam Fuld from the Oakland Athletics to replace him. Fantasy Tip: It sounds as if he suffered a sprained ankle, which could keep him out two or three weeks. If it's of the high-ankle variety, he could be out longer. If he is dropped in your league, and you have the space, pick him up. OF Collin Cowgill and OF/DH Raul Ibanez could be options to fill in during his absence. Neither are worth fantasy consideration in mixed leagues. OF Brennan Boesch could also be an option, but he's not exactly tearing it up at Triple-A Salt Lake. Share: Angels | Dane De La Rosa back to the DL Tue, 15 Apr 2014 18:19:55 -0700 The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have voided the optional assignment for RP Dane De La Rosa (shoulder) Tuesday, April 15, and have instead placed him on the major league 15-day disabled list due to right shoulder irritation. Share: Angels | Dane De La Rosa's velocity down Tue, 15 Apr 2014 12:29:40 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim RP Dane De La Rosa's velocity was surprisingly low in his debut Saturday, April 12, and he's being evaluated for medical reasons. "He feels good, he says he feels healthy, so I think you just want to explore why some of his velo is down," manager Mike Scioscia added. "Once he's ready, I know he's going to get right back on the horse. And Dane De La Rosa is going to be a big part of our bullpen. It's just going to take a little more time." Share: Angels | Want to keep Kole Calhoun at leadoff Tue, 15 Apr 2014 12:29:15 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim manager Mike Scioscia said he wants to keep OF Kole Calhoun in the leadoff spot, especially against righties. Calhoun hit ninth Saturday, April 12, and fifth Sunday, April 13, but was back at leadoff Monday, April 14. Share: Angels | Albert Pujols looks like old self Tue, 15 Apr 2014 08:34:44 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 1B Albert Pujols is fully healthy and has hit four home runs in the last six games. So far this year, there is already a big difference in his ability to punish pitches inside the strike zone. Pujols is also looking more mobile on defense at first base, something he wasn't able to pull off in 2013 while dealing with plantar fasciitis. Fantasy Tip: We knew Pujols was prime for a rebound season if he could just stay healthy. He's still one of the best hitters in the game and a good bet to reach 30 homers again if he avoids going on the disabled list. Share: Angels | David Freese off to poor start Tue, 15 Apr 2014 06:27:24 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 3B David Freese has five hits and 13 strikeouts in his first 43 at-bats. Fantasy Tip: Has his bat slowed this much at soon-to-be 31 years of age? We're a little worried, but he's a good buy-low option that still has some pop in his bat. Share: Angels | Josh Hamilton wearing cast Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:23:25 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim OF Josh Hamilton (thumb) is wearing a soft cast on his hand, but he'll replace it with a removable splint Friday, April 18. He will not take part in baseball activities until May 2. Share: Angels | Sean Burnett to play catch Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:06:47 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim RP Sean Burnett (elbow) will resume playing catch Monday, April 14. Share: Angels | Roster moves Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:58:31 -0700 The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim recalled Ps Yoslan Herrera and Jose Alvarez from the minors Sunday, April 13, and optioned RPs Dane De La Rosa and Matt Shoemaker in corresponding moves. Also, RP Brian Moran (elbow) was moved to the 60-day disabled list. Share: Angels | Mike Trout strong against Mets Mon, 14 Apr 2014 00:30:05 -0700 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim OF Mike Trout had a strong performance in his first three games against the New York Mets. Trout went 7-for-15 with two home runs in the three-game series to raise his season average to .320. Share:  |
