Rotoworld Player News

Nolan Schanuel

LAA 1st Baseman #18

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nolan Schanuel (calf) went 0-for-1 as a pinch-hitter during Friday’s game against the Rays.

Schanuel was held out of the lineup for the second consecutive contest as he continues to manage an ongoing ankle issue in addition to a calf issue that cropped up earlier this week. It doesn’t sound like he’s in any danger of requiring a trip to the injured list.
Nick Madrigal

LAA 3rd Baseman #17

Nick Madrigal went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk and a stolen base Friday in the Angels’ 4-3 defeat of the Rays.

Madrigal’s RBI hit was a grounder to second that the first baseman tried and failed to make a play on and on which the pitcher made no attempt to cover first. Madrigal then stole second afterwards for his first steal in two tries in 12 games since being called up. Madrigal is hitting the ball quite a bit harder than usual and yet has still struck out just twice in 39 plate appearances for the Angels. He might be on his way to reestablishing himself as a legitimate big leaguer, but it probably won’t be with enough homers and steals to make him much use outside of particularly deep formats.
Sam Aldegheri

LAA Starting Pitcher #61

Sam Aldegheri yielded two runs — one earned — in five innings Friday in a win over the Rays.

Aldegheri walked three but generated a lot of soft contact in improving to 2-1 with a 2.12 ERA in two starts and four relief appearances. It’s still highly unlikely that he’ll be of use in mixed leagues going forward, as he is adept neither at generating strikeouts nor groundouts. He’ll face the Diamondbacks next.
Ryan Zeferjahn

LAA Relief Pitcher #56

Ryan Zeferjahn struck out one of the two batters he faced for his second save Friday against the Rays.

Mitch Farris did the heavy lifting here, coming in with a 4-2 lead to start the seventh and getting eight outs before exiting with the bases loaded in the ninth. Zeferjahn walked the first batter he faced, forcing in a run, before striking out Cedric Mullins to end it. Unused tonight was nominal Angels closer Kirby Yates, even though he hadn’t pitched since Tuesday. The walk Zeferjahn issued was his 25th in 32 innings, which is why he isn’t serving as the Angels’ closer right now. Still, he’ll be a candidate for more saves if he’s able to cut down on the free passes.
Christian Moore

LAA 2nd Baseman #4

Angels INF prospect Christian Moore went 3-for-5 with a walk, three RBI, and a stolen base for Triple-A Salt Lake City on Thursday.

Moore was placed on the Triple-A injured list on May 4th with a leg injury. He wound up missing about a week and has been on fire since coming back, going 38-for-102 (.373) with three home runs, 28 runs scored, 25 RBI, five steals, and a 26/18 K/BB ratio. Considering he struck out 33.7 percent of the time in his 53 MLB games last season, that K/BB ratio is a major improvement. The 23-year-old has also been playing third base lately, which should expedite his path back to the majors since Denzer Guzman is currently playing there for the Angels. We could see Moore back up in the big leagues pretty soon.
Taijuan Walker

LAA Relief Pitcher #99

Angels re-signed RHP Taijuan Walker to a minor league contract.

The 33-year-old hurler exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league deal with the Angels on Monday, but after exploring the open market he decided that staying with the Angels makes the most sense for him at the moment. He’ll continue to serve as extra rotation depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.
Logan O'Hoppe

LAA Catcher #14

Logan O’Hoppe went 2-for-2 with a homer and a sac bunt Wednesday in the Angels’ 3-2 defeat of the Astros.

Jose Siri won the game by singling in automatic runner Nick Madrigal in the 10th. O’Hoppe’s homer off Peter Lambert was just his third in 45 games this season. The fractured wrist he suffered in April seems to have sapped his power, but it might be coming around now; since Monday, four of his five balls in play have been hit hard (not counting tonight’s sac bunt). Tonight’s homer left the bat at 107.7 mph and was projected at 423 feet.
Reid Detmers

LAA Starting Pitcher #48

Reid Detmers allowed one run and one hit in seven innings and struck out nine against the Astros on Wednesday.

Detmers might have been this pitcher two or three years ago if drafted into a healthier organization, but better late than never. He has a 97/24 K/BB in 81 innings, and while his ERA still sits at 4.00, the estimators have him right around 3.00, which is how he’ll be valued if the Angels finally trade him this summer. He’ll face Arizona next Tuesday.
Ryan Zeferjahn

LAA Relief Pitcher #56

Ryan Zeferjahn picked up his third win Wednesday after throwing a scoreless 10th in a tie game against the Astros.

Zeferjahn struck out two, intentionally walked Joey Loperfido and then got Shay Whitcomb to ground out to strand the automatic runner. That he’s unintentionally walked 21 batters in 31 2/3 innings this season has held him back, but he has an argument for being the Angels’ best reliever. It’d just a better one if he could be trusted at all to throw strikes.
Nolan Schanuel

LAA 1st Baseman #18

Nolan Schanuel (calf) is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Astros.

Schanuel receives some additional time off to rest and recover after making an early exit from Tuesday’s game with left calf tightness following a hit-by-pitch. The 24-year-old figures to be ready for Friday’s series opener against the Rays. It’ll be veteran Trey Mancini drawing another start at first base in his absence.
