LA Angels Thursday News Crash: 4 Days Only

Jorge Soler’s suspension was reduced to only 4 days.

Lehigh Baseball (college) scored 20 runs in the first inning of their game against Coppin State. They scored 38 runs overall in the game.

Cubs right-hander Porter Hodge will undergo UCL surgery on his throwing elbow. Mets infielder/outfielder Jared Young has a left meniscus tear and will have surgery. The Giants have Harrison Bader and Jared Oliva on the 10 day IL. With Bader it is a hamstring issue and for Oliva it is a fractured hamate bone.

The Tigers extended infielder Kevin McGonigle for eight years at $150 Million.

The Mets just released Luis Garcia. The Astros just called up right-hander Spencer Arrighetti. The White Sox designated outfielder Dustin Harris for assignment. The Cubs just signed left-hander Ty Blach to a minor league contract.

Here is the April 15, 2026 issue of Roto Riteup.

Gameday has Suter listed as today’s SP. I think Pomeranz and Romano are the only relievers unavailable.

Neto
Trout
Adell
Peraza
Grissom
Schanuel
d’Arnaud
Lowe
Teodosio

Instead of going for the sweep, this is the lineup tasked with getting the series split against Fried.

Yes, Minasian’s failure to address the BP put us here.

I think it was more Arte saying “you can’t spend anymore significant money” that put us here.

Given those restrictions, Minasian is still terrible. The A’s fare better with less money to work with.

Possibly. I was only commenting on this one situation.

Minasian deserves a lot of the blame for not finding many good bullpen pieces through drafting/trades.

To exacerbate that, he has been largely handcuffed in free agency by budget restrictions. This has prevented him from bailing out his terrible home grown roster construction.

Clippers choked their season away. Angels suffer another unbelievable heartbreak. Sports!

We struck gold with Maddux and Brady, and it doesn’t matter because we have braindead Suzuki cosplaying as a manager.

Jeremiah Jackson is killing it so far for the Orioles

Does this demonstrate the Angels are worse at developing or drafting?

I think they need to change the rules and let Romano pitch with an L-Screen. I’m worried about his health with how hard he’s getting hit.

Don’t fret people, we have a home stand coming up.

Who’s going to be our Edward? Where are the investigative journalists, the type that got Steinbrenner, when you need them?

Angels need to extend Neto and Adell.

Far and above better than Romano, and I am not a Garcia fan.

5 am and I still have not seen any news that Romano has been DFA’d. Get to work, Perry. Get him a Spirit Airlines standby ticket to wherever.

I would set the over/under at 10 the guys on our roster if they would be DFA’d would not be picked up by any other team.
