Logs time in left fieldAdell played five innings in left field against the Reds during Tuesday's Cactus League contest and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout at the plate.
ImpactThe time in left field was unusual for Adell, as he played mostly in right field last season, adding a few appearances in center. He did log 22 appearances in left in the minors between 2018 and 2019, so the position is not entirely new for him. There's no indication that the Angels are planning to play the 21-year-old in left field this season, so Tuesday's showing may simply have been an early-spring experiment.

Impresses in spring debutRodriguez struck out both batters he faced Tuesday versus Cincinnati.
ImpactAccording to Kyle Glaser of Baseball America, Rodriguez hit 98 mph on the radar gun and also used his breaking ball effectively. Not only did the Angels' top pitching prospect whiff both batters he faced, he did so on only six pitches -- five of which were swinging strikes. Perhaps most impressively, one of those batters was Joey Votto, who owns a career 17.8 strikeout rate. Rodriguez was recently named a candidate for a call-up in 2021, and it's easy to see why the Angels are so high on him given the results of his spring debut.
