a rough stretch

Hard to feel good about the data. 2-5 over their last 7. The record says it all. And pitching at 5.9 RA/G. That's a problem.

Angels News

The Angels are shaking things up as they prepare for their series against the Astros, highlighted by the call-up of top prospect Denzer Guzman and the return of veteran Trey Mancini to the big leagues after 1,043 days. Guzman will be stepping in to fill the void left by Vaughn Grissom's injury, signaling that the Angels are not afraid to push their young talent into crucial roles. Meanwhile, Mancini's presence adds much-needed experience to a roster that has struggled with consistency, particularly with a 2-5 record over the last week. After a strong showing against the Dodgers, where the Angels won 13-5, optimism flickers, yet the reality of a 25-41 season looms large. They’ll need both Guzman’s potential and Mancini’s savvy as they aim to turn the tide against Houston.
