LA Angels Monday News Crash: Lucchesi DFA

The Angels designated Joey Lucchesi for assignment to make room on the roster for George Klassen who pitched yesterday. Klassen helped the Angels win a series against the Mariners. So did Jo Adell with some historically big defense. Thank you and good night! Mike Trout was hit on the hand by a pitch yesterday but the X-Rays are negative and he is day to day. It’s too bad, because he has been drawing enough walks to get Fangraphs attention just for that.

Hunter Brown of the Astros just went on the injured list with a shoulder strain. Yaramil Hiraldo of the Orioles also went on the injured list with shoulder inflammation. The Pirates placed infielder Jared Tiolo on the 10 day IL.

For fantasy baseball, here is the waiver wire report for week 2.

One last thing. I know I often come across as a hater when I see our crappy team and post accordingly. However, it is done out of love for the team I have been rooting for since I was a little kid in 1961. I will always love this team more than I loathe Arturo and his incompetent minions and can’t wait for the day he is gone. I hope I outlive that.

Watching Torii in the dugout in our uniform makes me wish he was our manager. I don’t think it’s an accident we had that amazing win yesterday.

Thank you to Jo Adell, the fan who captured this image, and the artist who created this rendering for helping us remember the single greatest Angels moment since we won the 2002 World Series. Even if we lose 100 games, I will be remembering 2026 this way and remember being an Angels fan is about the players, not the owner or the front office.

Click on it to see it larger. I want a wall-sized signed by Jo version of it on my memorabilia wall.

Gonna be busy the next few days with work, giving you all a reprieve from me 😂. Great win yesterday grabbing the series! I loved every second being back at the Big A.

Zooming out a bit from the day-to-day paralysis by analysis, this team will be a fun follow. Tough stretch upcoming, especially with Trout dinged up. Can we activate Rendone for the next Seattle series and have him jump out of the dugout ready to swing? Seriously, we need to throw hands and protect Trout, it’s getting ridiculous how often they hit him.

Few other quick notes
— Peraza and Frazier were smart pickups
— CMo has started at 3rd in AAA the last several games 👀
— Bachman’s stuff is eye popping. That 101 on the corner yesterday 🥶
— pleasantly surprised with the pitching. Wya offense ?

I basically agree but did you see that noodle-armed throw by Frazier in extras to allow that Seattle player to take third with one out.

We don’t have Ohtani, but we have great parking.
