Shohei Ohtani - Named Opening Day starter Ohtani has been named the Angels' Opening Day starter.

Impact He'll get the ball on March 30 in Oakland and is also lined up to pitch the home opener on April 7 against the Blue Jays. The plan is for Ohtani to start on five days' rest regularly in 2023 after he made 16 of 28 starts on six or more days of rest in 2022. He actually performed better last season when going on five days' rest, posting a 1.61 ERA over 12 starts.

Matt Moore - Agrees to deal with Halos Moore agreed to terms on a contract with the Angels on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jon Heyman of the New York Post says it's a one-year deal. Moore had been one of the best remaining available free agents after posting a 1.95 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 83:38 K:BB over 74 innings for the Rangers last season. He also collected five saves and should be in the late-inning mix for the Angels in 2023, particularly since he was effective against hitters from both sides of the plate, holding righties to a .537 OPS and lefties to a .634 OPS.

Shohei Ohtani - Will make only spring start March 1 Ohtani will make his only Cactus League start of 2023 on March 1 against the Brewers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Ohtani will make only one start in Arizona over the spring because he'll be joining Team Japan for the World Baseball Classic. The Angels are committed to having the two-way star pitch more often in 2023, and it certainly makes sense after he posted a 2.33 ERA and 219:44 K:BB over his 166 innings on top of his offensive heroics. Even in leagues where Ohtani is treated as two different players, he should go off the board early at both positions.

Jared Walsh - To get work in outfield Walsh (shoulder) will get some reps in the outfield this spring, Angels manager Phil Nevin told Sam Blum of The Athletic on Tuesday.

Impact Nevin expects Walsh to see playing time in the outfield during the season. The 29-year-old has a decent amount of outfield experience but didn't start any games out there in 2022. Walsh is coming back from thoracic outlet surgery but enters spring training without any limitations.

Griffin Canning - Full-go at spring training Canning (back) is a full-go at Angels camp this spring, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Canning did not pitch at any level in 2022 because of a stress fracture in his lower back, but he enjoyed a fairly normal offseason and already has several bullpen sessions under his belt. If his health cooperates, the 26-year-old right-hander should again emerge as an option for the Angels' six-man rotation here in 2023. He holds a 4.73 ERA and 214:81 K:BB through 209.1 career major-league innings.
