Reeling Angels visit Tanner Bibee, Guardians

Coming off a brutal homestand and without their superstar, the Los Angeles Angels hit the road, where they also have struggled of late.

Angels turn to Tyler Anderson in encounter vs. Phillies

Cole Tucker may not be the answer to all of the difficulties facing the Los Angeles Angels, but they’ll take what they can get from the former first-round draft pick.

Tucker was released from the Seattle Mariners in mid-March and signed

Angels hope balanced offense continues vs. Orioles

If the Los Angeles Angels hope to make up lost ground, they will need more contributions from the bottom of their lineup.

It’s all about being process-oriented, which is hard to

With Anthony Rendon ailing, Angels try to avoid being swept in Cincinnati

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon was booed during introductions before the club’s home opener on April 5, in part because he has been a bust since signing a $245 million free-agent contract. Over the last two weeks, however, he’s heated up, collecting hits in 16 of his last 42 at-bats and looking like the player the Angels were hoping they got in December 2019. But the Angels likely will be without Rendon on
