Angels News
The Los Angeles Angels continue to tread water, barely escaping a shutout against the Kansas City Royals with a narrow 1-0 victory, but the offensive woes remain glaring with just 3.7 runs per game over the past week. Moises Ballesteros, recently acquired from the Cubs, has a chance to make a name for himself with the Angels, provided he can refine his defensive skills behind the plate. Meanwhile, Vaughn Grissom's emergence has put the Angels in a favorable light after a bold trade with the Red Sox, further demonstrating the potential for improvement amidst a lackluster season. Yet, the news isn't all positive, the passing of Tommy John reminds us of the game's history and the impact of injuries on players. As we head into another matchup with the Royals, the Angels are desperate for their bats to wake up from this slumber.
