Anderson did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win against the Guardians. He yielded two runs on a hit and four walks over five innings and struck out five batters.
Anderson allowed one run through the first three frames before serving up a solo shot off the bat of Kyle Manzardo. Through two starts, Anderson has given up five runs (three homers) across 10 frames. He threw just 49 of 81 pitches for strikes Sunday but forced 10 whiffs, including six with his changeup. Anderson's next outing is lined up to be in Houston next weekend.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Extends home-run streak
Rotowire
O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Cleveland.
O'Hoppe has now gone deep in four consecutive games and has five long balls through 30 plate appearances. The 25-year-old catcher wasted no time Sunday, drilling a solo homer in the second inning. He owns a .345/.367/.862 slash line with nine RBI and a 1:10 BB:K through seven appearances.

Angels' Kyren Paris: Goes deep, swipes bag
Rotowire
Paris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Cleveland.
Paris singled, swiped second base and came around to score in the second inning. He later gave the Angels an insurance run with his solo shot in the eighth. Paris has gone 8-for-18 (.444) with two home runs and four steals through eight games to begin the season. Paris has played center field and second base in 2025 and should continue seeing consistent playing time as long as his bat stays effective.
Newman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
With just one hit through his first 13 at-bats of the season, Newman has begun to lose playing time and will now hit the bench for the third time in four games. Tim Anderson will draw a second straight start at shortstop and seems to have at least temporarily leapfrogged Newman on the depth chart.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Getting second straight start
Rotowire
Anderson will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.
After going 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run in Saturday's 10-4 win, Anderson will pick up a second straight start. He may have inched ahead of Kevin Newman in the competition for primary duties at shortstop, though playing time at the position remains fluid.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Moncada (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
As expected, Moncada will miss out on a second straight start while he tends to a thumb injury. Luis Rengifo will fill in at third base in place of Moncada, who is unlikely to be available off the bench Sunday but could return to the lineup in the Angels' next game Tuesday at Tampa Bay.

Angels' Caden Dana: Dispatched to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels optioned Dana to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
Dana's stay with the Angels lasted just two days, as he was recalled from Triple-A on Friday and appeared out of the bullpen later that night in an 8-6 loss to the Guardians. Since he covered three innings and gave up two earned runs on four hits and one walk in that appearance, Dana was unlikely to be available for another day or two, so the Angels opted to swap him off the active roster in favor of a fresh arm in right-hander Michael Darrell-Hicks, who was called up from Salt Lake. Dana is expected to move back into the rotation upon his return to the Triple-A club.

Angels' Michael Darrell-Hicks: Summoned to big-league bullpen
Rotowire
The Angels selected Darrell-Hicks' contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
Darrell-Hicks will get his first call-up to the big leagues and will join the bullpen as a replacement for Caden Dana, who was optioned to Triple-A so that he could presumably continue to stay stretched out as a starter. A 27-year-old righty, Darrell-Hicks had given up two earned runs while striking out four over 4.1 innings for Salt Lake this season. He split time between Triple-A and Double-A Rocket City in 2024, logging a 2.60 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 69:13 K:BB over 62.1 innings.
Soler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run Saturday in a 10-4 win over Cleveland.
The Angels tagged Guardians ace Tanner Bibee for four homers in the victory, with Soler's first-inning, two-run shot coming as the second of the bunch. It was the first long ball of the season for the veteran slugger, who entered Saturday with just one RBI through seven games. Soler promisingly didn't strike out Saturday after fanning at a 41.7 percent clip over his first 29 plate appearances.

Angels' Luis Rengifo: Homers in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk against the Guardians in Saturday's 10-4 victory.
Rengifo exited Friday's game early due to left hamstring tightness, but he was back starting at third base Saturday. The hamstring issue didn't seem to affect his swing, as the utility man knocked a solo homer on the third pitch of his first at-bat. Rengifo did give way defensively to Nicky Lopez in the eighth inning, but the Angels were ahead 10-3 at the time, and Rengifo appeared to emerge from the contest without a setback.

Angels' Mike Trout: Continues power surge in victory
Rotowire
Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a walk Saturday in a 10-4 win against Cleveland.
Trout's lone hit of the contest was a 429-foot, two-run blast in the fifth inning that unknotted what had been a 3-3 game. The veteran slugger has gone deep in three straight games after failing to homer in each of his first five contests of the campaign. While Trout is still batting just .172 on the season, four of his five hits (three homers and a double) have gone for extra bases, and he's tied for the team lead with eight RBI.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Goes deep in third straight game
Rotowire
O'Hoppe went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 10-4 victory versus the Guardians on Saturday.
O'Hoppe belted one of four Angels homers against Cleveland ace Tanner Bibee, launching a two-run shot to center field in the fifth inning. It was the third straight game with a long ball for the backstop, who is tied for fourth in the league with four home runs on the campaign. O'Hoppe boosted his slash line to .320/.346/.800 with Saturday's three-hit performance.

Angels' Jack Kochanowicz: Goes five frames for victory
Rotowire
Kochanowicz (1-0) earned the win over Cleveland on Saturday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Kochanowicz wasn't as sharp as in his first start of the campaign, when he didn't issue a walk and notched a quality start, but this time around he got plenty of run support, as the Angels scored seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning after he finished his final frame. The right-hander earned the Angels' final rotation spot with a solid spring, and he's done enough so far to hang onto the role, posting a 3.27 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB over 11 frames through two starts. Kochanowicz has struggled a bit with the long ball, though -- he's already yielded three homers after giving up just seven in 65.1 innings as a rookie last year.
Angels' Ryan Zeferjahn: Likely unavailable Saturday
Rotowire
Zeferjahn (hamstring) is likely unavailable Saturday against the Guardians, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Zeferjahn was removed from Friday's game with the hamstring issue. The exact timeline for his return remains unclear, though the Angels' bullpen looks likely to be shorthanded again Saturday.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Likely out Sunday
Rotowire
Moncada (thumb) will likely be sidelined until Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Moncada was removed from Friday's game and was absent from Saturday's lineup after aggravating a thumb injury. It sounds as if Moncada will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, and he'll have an extra day to rest with the Angels off Monday.

Angels' Kevin Newman: Not starting Saturday
Rotowire
Newman is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Newman has been losing quite a bit of playing time recently due to his poor start, though he finally managed to log his first hit of the new season during Friday's loss. Tim Anderson will start in Newman's place at shortstop Saturday and bat ninth.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Sitting Saturday
Rotowire
Moncada (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Moncada aggravated his injured thumb during Friday's game. It will officially cost him at least one start, though there's a chance the Angels will send him to the injured list until his thumb is no longer an issue. While the team weighs its options, Luis Rengifo will move to third base to cover for Moncada, and Kyren Paris will pick up a start at second.
