  • LAA Shortstop #2
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    MLB.com’s Rhett Bollinger reports that Luis Rengifo will “get reps in center field this spring.”
    While this is ostensibly to add versatility to his game, there is a real chance that Rengifo could settle in as a regular center fielder. The Angels will start the season by giving opportunities to Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak, but both of them have failed to live up to prospect hype and are running short on chances. If Rengifo acquits himself well in center field and Moniak and Adell struggle, the Angels could move Rengifo to the outfield. That would free up second base for prized prospect Christian Moore, who was apparently on the verge of being called up late last season before suffering an injury.
  • LAA Center Fielder #27
    Mike Trout announced Monday that he’ll be moving to right field on a full-time basis this season.
    He’ll also DH on occasion. While there’s been plenty of talk about Trout moving to a corner, none of the Angels’ offseason moves appear to have been made with Trout’s move in mind.. As a result, Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak now simply move from the right field depth chart to center. It seems like bad news for Adell, since Moniak is the more accomplished center fielder, but we still imagine the Angels will give Adell the first shot out there. As for Trout, this should somewhat help his chances of staying healthy, though he is possibly in line for more wall interaction in right.
  • LAA Left Fielder #7
    Angels and OF Jo Adell avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.1 million deal.
    Adell got off to a hot start in 2024, hitting .316 with four home runs and five steals in his first 22 games. However, his production dipped rapidly, and even a strong month of August didn’t help too much as he finished the year hitting .207/.280/.402 with 20 homers and 15 steals in 451 plate appearances. The power and speed are tantalizing but Adell swings and misses too much. He could be pushed for playing time in the outfield by Mickey Moniak or Matthew Lugo, who was acquired at the trade deadline from the Red Sox and hit .287 with 17 home runs and 16 steals across two levels of the minors last season.
  • LAA Left Fielder #7
    Angels transferred RF Jo Adell from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
    As presumed, Adell will miss the rest of the season with the oblique strain he suffered Friday. He finishes the year at .207/.280/.402 with 20 homers and 15 steals in 451 plate appearances. The Angels ought to explore upgrading in right field this winter, but Adell did occasionally look like a major league regular this year, especially with the way his defense has improved.
  • LAA Left Fielder #7
    Angels placed OF Jo Adell on 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique.
    It was irritation last night. Now that it’s being termed a strain, we imagine Adell will miss the rest of the season. Kevin Pillar (thumb) landed on the IL as well, so it’ll be the newly recalled Jordyn Adams and Bryce Teodosio filling in for Adell. Both are speedsters with big questions about their bats. If it was just one or the other, they might be worth picking up for cheap steals in deeper leagues. However, since they’ll presumably be splitting time, neither seems like a very good choice.
  • LAA Left Fielder #7
    Jo Adell left Friday’s game because of left oblique irritation.
    Irritation? Is that better or worse than tightness? Adell missed most of the second half last year due to an oblique strain. Kevin Pillar stepped in after Adell struck out in his first at-bat. Jordyn Adams would probably get the callup if Adell lands on the IL. He’s not much of a hitter, but his stolen base ability could make him useful in mixed leagues.
  • LAA Left Fielder #7
    Jo Adell crushed a pair of solo homers on Saturday in a win over the Mariners.
    Adell continues to show flashes of immense fantasy potential, but the fact that he’s still striking out close to 30 percent of the time means that there are going to be some pretty stark peaks and valleys production-wise in the future. At 25 years old, we’re not ruling out the possibility that he makes some strides in the plate skills department, and finally makes the metaphorical leap to stardom, but we’re fairly confident he’s going to settle in as an ultra-streaky slugging outfielder for the next few years. He’s up to 20 homers and 15 steals in just 125 contests after taking Mariners starter Bryan Woo deep for a pair of big flys during Saturday’s back-and-forth slugfest.
  • LAA Left Fielder #7
    Jo Adell went 1-for-3 with a double, run scored, and two RBI on Friday against the Blue Jays.
    Adell laced a two-run double off Chris Bassitt in the second inning of what looked like it would be a rare strong day for the Angels’ offense. However, those two runs would be the last two they’d score in a game that would eventually be blown in the ninth innings. Nevertheless, Adell may finally be turning a corner. Before you hurl your tomatoes, he has a .272/.348/.427 slash line over his last 30 games that has come with a shrinking strikeout rate and more contact in the strike zone. Overall, he’s up to 18 homers and 14 stolen bases on the season, albeit with an ugly .214 batting average.
  • LAA Left Fielder #7
    Jo Adell collected his 18th homer Monday for one of the Angels’ two runs against the Blue Jays.
    Adell really shouldn’t be batting ninth for the Halos at this point. He’s hit .281/.392/.476 with four homers and four steals in his last 25 games. He’ll be especially worth playing in mixed leagues if the Angels move him up in the order.
  • LAA Left Fielder #7
    Jo Adell crushed a two-run homer on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to power the Angels to victory over the Nationals.
    Adell gave the Angels an early 2-1 advantage with his mammoth 431-foot (106.5-mph EV) two-run shot on the first pitch that he saw from Mitchell Parker in the second inning. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. For the season, the maddeningly inconsistent slugger is now hitting .202/.277/.399 to go along with 17 homers and 53 RBI.
