Angel left-handed Taylor Anderson After a shaky season, the 35-year-old Southpaw told Orange County Registration Department Jeff Fletcher that he played with back injuries throughout the year. Anderson’s recent start back from Tuesday to Saturday to give him an extra break. Anderson describes this discomfort as “on and off”, but usually he is able to pass. However, he admits that this could have been “presumably exploded” this season after his recent outing.
Anderson’s game against the Rays in four innings was marked as four games. It marks his sixth in the past ten trips of the veteran Nanzha, who has run at least four times. His era in that span was an ugly 5.50, and his season was up 3.99 to the current 4.63.
This is the last season of Anderson’s three-year deal with Halos, the 40mm deal. At the time, it was the first multi-year contract for free-agent starter pitcher authorized by owner Arte Moreno in a decade (although the Angels have since signed it Yusei Kikuchi A three-year contract was reached). While Anderson would hope that the extra rest will help him get back on track, it is not a promising ending season.
Anderson is far from the only struggling member of Angel Spin. Right-leaning Jack Kochanowicz It is understandable that it has been selected twice in the past month, so on the tortured 6.19 ERA, the strikeout rate is 14.5%, the walking rate is 11.3%, with 107 2/3 innings distributed in 22 games.
The 24-year-old Kochanowicz’s struggle prompted spin changes and was somewhat lasting. Another 24-year-old Righty, Victor MederosPer Fletcher, temporarily becoming Halos’ fifth starter. The right-hander changed his arm slot and pitch mix this year, most notably swapping his foursome for a sinker, and he has found strong results in his upper minors so far.
Although Mederos allowed five runs in eight major league innings, he played 3.41 ERA in the batsman-friendly three-man A Pacific Coast League. He is not missing a lot of bats (19% strikeout rate), but it is about average walking and ground ball rates. The opponent has been working hard to connect with rights and he will get some opportunities to show that he can stick with the major league staff.
Angels will not have outfielders in terms of injury Gustavo Campero For a long time – maybe the rest of the season. The 27-year-old hurt the court earlier this week with a low point. Thankfully, he avoided catastrophic injuries but was still diagnosed with a sprain of a high ankle. The team hasn’t officially ruled Campero for the rest of the year, but it’s possible that he can’t restore it to the scene.
Right-handed in brighter angel injury news Robert Stephenson Start your minor league rehabilitation mission today. Stephenson told Fanduel Sports West’s Erica Weston that he will make another appearance with the Angels’ Triple-A club today and Sunday.
Stephenson, 32, signed the Angels in the 2023-24 offseason to a three-year, 33mm deal, but missed the entire ’24 season due to Tommy John’s surgery. He returned briefly earlier this summer but shot only one inning before returning to the injured list – this time due to inflammation of his right biceps. He has since returned to the 60-day IL, but now it seems to be paying off.
Stephenson’s 2023 campaigner DFA candidates rise to a rapid rise of high-leverage outstanding figures. He was designated as a mission by the Rockies in late 2022, claiming he was exempted by Pittsburgh and transferred from the Pirates to the Rays in 2023 at the hands of a minor league infielder in June. Alika Williams.
Although Stephenson has long been able to lose bats at high levels, he didn’t put all the bats together until the deal to Tampa Bay. In the 38 1/3 innings with the Rays, he scored a 2.35 ERA with just 5.7% of his opponent with a 42.9% walk. Stephenson’s four holes averaged 96.8 mph, and his huge 24.8% swing rate (28.9% rays) is the highest single-season mark for any pitcher (minimum 40 innings) Brad Leach25.1% score in 2004.
The first two years of a considerable free agent contract will fall in a wash, but if Stephenson can finish the year in a high profile, that will make Angels more optimistic about their bullpen entering the 2026 campaign.
