Jared Walsh - Blasts pair of homers Walsh went 2-for-4 with two home runs, two runs, three RBI and a walk in a 6-5 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday.
Impact Walsh opened the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning off Texas starter Dane Dunning, walked in the fourth and tied the game with a two-run home run in the ninth. The long ball was the 28-year-old's fifth of May, and he busted out of a 2-for-24 skid with the successful game. Walsh is now slashing .248/.309/.460 with eight home runs, 18 runs and 26 RBI.

Raisel Iglesias - Falters again Iglesias (1-2) took the loss during Wednesday's 6-5 defeat at the hands of the Rangers, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit with one strikeout in one-third of an inning.
Impact Iglesias entered a 4-4 tie with the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the ninth and induced a Jonah Heim strikeout to neutralize the threat. Los Angeles scored one in the top of the 10th and Iglesias stayed to finish things up, but he served up a Nathaniel Lowe walk-off homer on the very first pitch. After converting all eight save opportunities prior to Saturday, the 32-year-old has surrendered walk-off long balls in consecutive appearances that have upped his ERA from 2.13 to 4.61.

Shohei Ohtani - Whiffs seven in no-decision Ohtani didn't factor into the decision during Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Texas, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings.
Impact Ohtani navigated Texas' lineup successfully with the exception of Jonah Heim, who accounted for both runs surrendered with RBI in the fourth and sixth innings. The 27-year-old has delivered quality starts in three straight turns and has now permitted two runs or fewer in six of his seven starts. Ohtani lines up to take the hill again next week against Toronto.

Aaron Whitefield - Sent to Double-A Whitefield cleared waivers and was outrighted to Double-A Rocket City on Wednesday, dddd reports.
Impact Whitefield was designated for assignment over the weekend and will now return to Double-A after going 0-for-11 in five big-league games. He has a .301/.400/.538 slash line with five home runs, 17 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 24 games for Rocket City this season.
MAY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Rendon - Slugs fifth homer Rendon went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two walks in a loss to Texas on Tuesday.
Impact Rendon gave the Angels an early lead with his two-run shot to left field in the third inning, and he plated the game's final run with a single in the ninth. It was the veteran third baseman's third multi-hit performance over his past six games, a stretch during which he's slashing .400/.478/.650 with two doubles and five RBI. Rendon is slashing a more modest .230/.331/.405 across 148 plate appearances overall this season.
MAY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Ward - No signs of slowing down Ward went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.
Impact Ward got the Angels offense going in the contest, launching a 419-foot solo shot to center field in the third inning. The long ball was his fourth in 14 contests this month and extended his on-base streak to 25 games. Ward has been among baseball's most pleasant surprises this season, slashing .376/.484/.733 with nine homers, 23 RBI, 26 runs and a stolen base across 122 plate appearances.

Mike Trout - Homers among three hits Tuesday Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored Tuesday in a loss to Texas.
Impact Trout came into the contest in a bit of a slump, having gone 3-for-18 over his previous five games. The superstar outfielder busted out of the cold snap against the Rangers, falling a triple short of a cycle and blasting his 10th long ball of the campaign in the seventh inning. Trout has unsurprisingly been among the league's top hitters this season, complementing the homer total with a .325/.440/.684 slash line, 10 doubles, 21 RBI and 31 runs. The only disappointing part of his season from a fantasy perspective is that he has yet to attempt a stolen base.

César Valdez - Designated for assignment Valdez was designated for assignment by the Angels on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Valdez's contract was selected by the Angels on Tuesday, and he allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and no walks while failing to strike out a batter in a relief inning against the Rangers. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Jose Suarez was called up Wednesday.
MAY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
José Suarez - Recalled by Angels Suarez was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Suarez was sent down by the Angels on May 1, and he posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 10 innings over two starts in the minors. The Angels currently have six starters on their major-league roster, so Suarez will likely be available out of the bullpen for now after Cesar Valdez was designated for assignment.

Matt Duffy - Not in Wednesday's lineup Duffy (face) isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers, Arianna Vedia of MLB.com reports.
Impact Duffy exited Tuesday's matchup against Texas due to a facial laceration, and he won't be in the lineup a day later. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.
MAY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Marsh - Not starting Wednesday Marsh isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Arianna Vedia of MLB.com reports.
Impact Marsh has recorded hits in each of his last eight games, and he hit .364 with a double, six runs and four RBI during that time. Tyler Wade will take his place in left field while Luis Rengifo starts at second base.

Reid Detmers - Letdown outing against Texas Detmers did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings.
Impact On the heels of his no-hitter against Tampa Bay, this was a bit of a disappointment, especially considering the opponent. Detmers served up homers to Corey Seager and Kole Calhoun and was pulled after just 61 pitches. Fatigue was likely a factor after Detmers threw 108 pitches in last week's no-hitter. These are the types of ups and downs we should expect from a rookie pitcher.

Archie Bradley - Tosses bullpen session Bradley (abdomen) tossed a bullpen session Monday and is slated for another Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Bradley presumably came out of his initial bullpen session fine since he's scheduled for another two days later. The right-hander last pitched in a game April 29 and was initially expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, and it looks like he could be able to return during the early portion of that window. Bradley should return to a prominent role in the Angels' bullpen when he's activated.

José Quijada - Nearing rehab assignment Quijada (oblique) will likely go on a rehab assignment soon after facing live hitters Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact The left-hander threw 20 pitches in the live batting-practice session Tuesday and didn't suffer any setbacks, according to team head athletic trainer Mike Frostad. Quijada was injured during his Opening Day outing, during which he faced only one batter. He'll likely have a spot in the big-league bullpen if his minor-league rehab assignment goes well.

Griffin Canning - Not currently throwing Canning (back) hasn't thrown since suffering a setback following a simulated game May 9, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Canning looked to be rehabbing well when throwing bullpen sessions in late April, but he experienced soreness after his first simulated game and hasn't been able to throw since. Per Fletcher, he tried to play catch Monday, but that didn't go well. Canning will have a follow-up with a doctor Wednesday, which may provide some clarity about his outlook moving forward.

Matt Duffy - Leaves early Tuesday Duffy was removed from Tuesday's win over the Angels with a facial laceration after colliding with Adolis Garcia during the eighth inning, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Regist...
Impact Duffy was apparently mostly unaffected from the collision itself, but the ball popped out of his glove and struck him in the face, resulting in the laceration. The 31-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.
