Mike Trout - Won't return to Cactus League playTrout will not play in the Angels' remaining Cactus League games but will participate in the Freeway Series against the Dodgers before the start of the regular season, Jeff Fletche...
ImpactTrout won't get any action in Arizona after returning from his time with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. He officially ended the tournament by striking out against Angels teammate Shohei Ohtani in the championship game, but he did play well in the WBC with a .296/.406/.556 slash line. Trout should have his timing at the plate down by this point in spring, and another stellar season is expected as long as he can maintain reasonably good health.

Shohei Ohtani - Will start MiLB game FridayOhtani's next start start will come Friday in a minor-league game, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
ImpactOhtani will pitch in a game on the backfields in Arizona where the Angels will be able to control the environment. The two-way star is returning to spring camp after winning MVP honors for both his pitching and hitting work in the just-concluded World Baseball Classic that his native Japan won for the third time. Ohtani likely won't pitch in any more Cactus League games with the season just a week away, but he looks ready to roll for a big 2023 campaign.

Shohei Ohtani, ridiculous baseball specimen, should never be normalizedWhat Ohtani has done so far in his MLB career, and what he did in the World Baseball Classic, is as far from normal as it gets.

Zach Davies - Downplays poor resultsDavies allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six over 3.2 innings in Tuesday's spring start against the Angels.
ImpactDavies was knocked around for a second consecutive Cactus League start, and as he did after the previous start, the right-hander downplayed the results, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Davies said he was throwing pitches in situations he would not normally throw in the regular season, citing the curveball that Jo Adell sent 430 feet to left field for a home run. "Felt pretty good," Davies said. "Still kinda working on things but at the same time, we're getting down to crunch time." He was pleased with his fastball and changeup, which helped him to record the strikeouts. Davies is slotted in as the No. 4 starter.
