Rotoworld Player News

Denzer Guzman

LAA 3rd Baseman #23

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Denzer Guzman is on the bench for a fourth straight game Friday against the Pirates.

Guzman started 15 of the Angels’ 17 games from Aug. 12-30, but he’s taking a backseat to Oswald Peraza now, even though Peraza is batting .155 in 67 plate appearances int he second half and last drove in a run on July 19. The Angels might be trying to figure out whether Peraza should be in their plans for 2027. Guzman, who is still just 22 and has a couple of option years left after this one, isn’t under that kind of pressure.
Reid Detmers

LAA Starting Pitcher #48

Reid Detmers held the Yankees to one run in seven innings and struck out eight on Wednesday.

The Yankees were very aggressive tonight, swinging at 60 percent of Detmers’ pitches, but they didn’t make a lot of quality contact in producing five singles and one double. It’s the fifth straight start in which Detmers has allowed one or no runs, but like three of the previous four, he didn’t factor into the decision. He’s won one time in 2 1/2 months, and he had to pitch eight scoreless innings in a 1-0 game to pull off that one. He’ll face the Red Sox next.
Josh Lowe

LAA Left Fielder #3

Josh Lowe was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Yankees with neck stiffness.

Jose Siri takes over in left field with Lowe getting the night off. The 28-year-old corner outfielder has played almost exclusively against right-handed starters in his Angels debut, posting 10 homers and seven steals in 290 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Shaun Anderson

LAA Relief Pitcher #64

Angels sent RHP Shaun Anderson outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Anderson will presumably stick around as organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old journeyman posted a bloated 7.65 ERA across 20 innings for the Angels earlier this season.
Grayson Rodriguez

LAA Starting Pitcher #21

Grayson Rodriguez allowed four runs and struck out seven batters over six innings in a loss against the Yankees on Tuesday.

The Yankees got to Rodriguez right away, putting three runs on the board in the first inning on a pair of home runs by Spencer Jones and Jazz Chisholm Jr. Two hits and a groundout brought a fourth run in to score in the third inning. Rodriguez did a nice job giving the Angels three more frames before leaving at 102 pitches after six innings. The 26-year-old right-hander will carry a 6.03 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and a 72/33 K/BB ratio across 77 2/3 innings into a start against the Red Sox in Boston on Monday.
Samy Natera Jr.

LAA Relief Pitcher

Angels activated LHP Sammy Natera Jr. frpm the 15-day injured list.

Natera returns to Los Angeles’ relief mix after missing a couple weeks with back spasms. Hard-throwing Ben Joyce is probably going to hang onto the closer role, but Natera could vulture the occasional save chance against left-handed lineups.
Kyren Paris

LAA 2nd Baseman #19

Angels recalled INF/OF Kyren Paris from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Paris was a fantasy phenomenon when he tore the cover off the ball for a handful of games at the start of last season. The 24-year-old hasn’t appeared in the majors at all this year and is likely ticketed for a bench role with the Angels for the final month.
John Mozeliak

LAA General Manager

The Angels are being sold to Los Angeles Rams and Denver Nuggets owner Stan Korenke, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Wow. The reign of Arte Moreno is over, or at least will be in the first quarter of 2027. There was no word that the Angels were again up for sale. Moreno put the team on the market in Aug. 2022, but with no suitable offers, he announced five months later than he’d keep the club. The sale seems like great news for Angels fans. Kroenke hasn’t been quite as generous with the Nuggets’ finances as some would like, but his teams, which also include the Colorado Avalanche, certainly tend to have more success than the Angels have enjoyed.
Vaughn Grissom

LAA 2nd Baseman #5

Vaughn Grissom went 3-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI in the Angels’ 10-1 rout of the Yankees on Monday.

Grissom’s last hit was a 391-foot double to left that would have been a homer in 26 ballparks. In Angel Stadium, it really ought to have been caught, but Cody Bellinger just didn’t get a good jump on it. Grissom’s .249/.311/.389 line isn’t especially impressive, and his future as a long-term regular is far from secure. Still, his approach is pretty good, and at age 25, he could get a little stronger. He should be close to clinching a spot on the 2027 Angels, even if he might not deserve to be penciled into the starting lineup.
Walbert Ureña

LAA Starting Pitcher #57

Walbert Ureña fanned eight and held the Yankees to one run over seven innings in a victory Monday.

Ureña’s command still comes and goes, but it wasn’t an issue tonight. He walked none and allowed just one extra-base hit — a Spencer Jones homer — to the 25 Yankees he faced tonight. The victory evened his record at 9-9 to go along with a 2.85 ERA. He’d be a Rookie of the Year candidate in many seasons, but he’s behind Parker Messick and a couple of bats in this year’s AL class. He’ll likely face the Pirates on Sunday.
