LOS ANGELES ANGELS NEWS

Shohei Ohtani - Five strong innings Ohtani (15-9) allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out six across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Athletics.

Impact The only baserunners Ohtani allowed came in the fifth inning, though that was enough for him to surrender a run and to take his ninth loss of the season. Otherwise, he was extremely impressive, racking up 13 swinging strikes on only 69 total pitches. Ohtani closed the season by allowing one or fewer earned runs in six of seven starts. Overall, he maintained a 2.33 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 219 strikeouts across 166 innings.

Anthony Rendon - Resting Wednesday Rendon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Earlier this week, Rendon made an unexpected late-season return from the wrist surgery he underwent earlier in June, serving a five-game suspension first before he was formally reinstated. He started at third base in each of the past two games and went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts. Rendon seemingly avoided any setbacks with the wrist in either contest, so he'll likely just be getting some rest as the Angels wrap up their season Wednesday.

Ryan Tepera - Takes loss Tuesday Tepera (5-4) allowed a run on a hit and two walks with one strikeout in 1.1 innings, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

Impact Tepera did fine in the ninth inning, but he loaded the bases and then walked Shea Langeliers to end the contest. That also ended a 4.2-innings scoreless streak for Tepera, who has worked as part of a closer committee down the stretch. The righty reliever has a 3.77 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB with six saves, five blown saves and 17 holds in 57.1 innings this season.

Michael Lorenzen - Ends year with quality start Lorenzen allowed three hits and three walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

Impact Lorenzen wasn't able to complete six innings in any of his four September starts after returning from a shoulder strain. He got to that mark with one of his best performances of the year Tuesday, as no Oakland hitter got past second base on his watch. Lorenzen worked as a starter full-time for the first season since 2015, posting a 4.24 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 85:44 K:BB over 97.2 innings in his 18 starts this year. He could remain in the Angels' rotation in 2023 if he signs a new contract with the team.
