LOS ANGELES ANGELS NEWS

Ben Joyce - Should work as closer Joyce is expected to operate as the Angels' closer after the trade of Luis Garcia on Tuesday.

Impact Garcia was labeled the closer while Joyce was named the setup man and closer-in-waiting after the trade of Carlos Estevez over the weekend, and Garcia has now also been dealt. Assuming manager Ron Washington sticks with that plan, Joyce should take over as the Halos' primary closer down the stretch. The right-hander still struggles to control his 101.8-mph fastball at times and has a 4.0 BB/9 this season, but that's an improvement from his first taste of the big leagues last year when he walked nine over 10 innings and had an 8.1 BB/9 at Triple-A. Joyce has a 2.01 ERA,1.12 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB in 19 appearances this season.

He's up to a .306/.352/.424 slash line with 24 steals, six home runs, 30 RBI and 41 runs scored over 76 games this season.

Jo Adell - Knocks homer in win Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and was hit by two pitches in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies.

Impact Adell's seventh-inning solo shot gave the Angels the lead for good. Prior to Tuesday, he had gone just 1-for-16 with one walk over his previous five contests. The outfielder is up to 16 homers, 47 RBI, 41 runs scored and 13 stolen bases this season, but he's slashing just .193/.270/.393 over 97 games.

Hunter Strickland - Grabs first save Strickland struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies.

Impact Strickland got the first save after the trade deadline, which saw the Angels ship out Carlos Estevez to the Phillies over the weekend and Luis Garcia to the Red Sox earlier Tuesday. Strickland has limited experience as a closer -- his career high for saves in a year is 14 with the Giants in 2018, and he logged seven saves over 66 appearances with the Reds in 2022 before failing to log a major-league game in 2023. It's unclear if Strickland will get a chance to run with the closer role, though he's pitched well this year with a 3.06 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB over 50 innings while adding six holds. Ben Joyce also figures to be in the mix, but he worked in the eighth inning Tuesday in a high-leverage spot against the middle of the Rockies' order. Given the Angels' performance this year, save chances figure to be sparse regardless of who closes the rest of the way.

Matt Thaiss - Plays huge role in win Thaiss went 3-for-5 with a double, five RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies.

Impact Thaiss had a two-run double in the third inning, a two-run single in the fourth and an RBI single in the eighth. He also logged his first two steals of the campaign. Prior to Tuesday, Thaiss hadn't done much of anything well -- he entered the contests with just seven RBI all year. He's slashing .253/.347/.373 with one home run, 12 RBI, eight runs scored, seven doubles and two steals through 95 plate appearances. He's played roughly once a week in July, so Logan O'Hoppe figures to remain in a starting role behind the dish.

Griffin Canning - Lasts six innings Tuesday Canning allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies.

Impact Canning gave the Angels decent length, but he didn't pitch particularly well. The Rockies put up six runs over the first two innings, but Canning retired the last 14 batters he faced to allow the Angels time for a comeback. The right-hander has allowed at least four runs in six of his last nine outings. He's at a 5.25 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 85:43 K:BB through 116.2 innings over 22 starts this season. Canning's next start is projected to be this weekend at home versus the Mets.
