Angels News
The Los Angeles Angels are off to an uneven start, now sitting at 2-2 after a disappointing 7-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs, where Edward Cabrera made a strong impression in his debut. Despite the shaky performance, there’s a silver lining as the rotation shows promise with Ryan Johnson, MLB Pipeline’s No. 2 Angels prospect, making his first MLB start soon. The Angels front office also recognized their misstep with Walbert Urena, who was optioned back to the minors, suggesting they are ready to make necessary adjustments early in the season. However, with a run differential of only +3 and batting metrics that raise eyebrows,like a troubling 0.309 xwOBA and just 18.9% hard-hit balls,the pressure is on for the hitters to step up and support the pitching staff as they prepare for the next challenge.
