TEMPE, Ariz. — A year after Mike Trout announced that he was moving to right field in an effort to preserve his health, he said he’s planning to go back to center. “I just feel more comfortable out there,” Trout said before the Angels’ first full-squad workout of the spring on Monday. “I feel like […]

TEMPE, Ariz. — As Logan O’Hoppe saw it from his squat behind the plate, the difference between Reid Detmers, the successful reliever, and Reid Detmers, the inconsistent starter, was not in the pitches that he threw. It was in the way that he threw them. “It was the conviction in each one of his pitches,” […]

TEMPE, Ariz. — Although it’s too early to know if Grayson Rodriguez can finally be healthy, it’s not too early for him to know he’s ahead of last year. The Angels’ right-hander said he’d been pitching with bone spurs bothering him since he was in Double-A in 2021. The discomfort was manageable enough for him […]

For a team that acquired four All-Stars and five former first-round draft picks this winter, the Angels have not generated much confidence among anyone that their streak of 10 straight losing seasons is coming to an end in 2026. That probably has something to do with the fact that only one of those new players […]

Here are some of the key questions the Angels hope to answer during spring training: How is Grayson Rodriguez? Rodriguez is a huge question mark for the Angels. The right-hander has shown the stuff to be a front-line starting pitcher, and he’s still just 26 years old. If he can be what he looked like […]
