This is about Zach Neto hitting his two run homer after being moved to the six hole in the batting order. The Angels just placed Drew Pomeranz on the 15 day IL due to left elbow inflammation. They reactivated Ryan Johnson to take his place. Also in that article are discussions of Oswald Peraza and Vaughn Grissom both getting work in at left field and that Kikuchi will remain shut down for a few more weeks.
Roto Riteup for May 13 has a video of Jo Adell’s most recent great catch. Fangraphs also has the Angels down in the pit in their power rankings, although they give the Angels better postseason odds than they give the Rockies. That is probably due to the Angels playing in a more pathetic division than the Rockies do.
Max Fried left Wednesday’s Yankees game after three innings due to elbow soreness. Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez will undergo surgery for a meniscus tear. The Reds designated catcher P. J. Higgins for assignment. The Reds also signed Chris Paddack to a major league deal. Liam Hendriks got a minor league deal with the Cubs.
It looks like Lucas Giolito will finally get into a game this weekend.
