Covers Angels: @BaseballAmerica | Managing Editor / MLB Draft: @SportingTrib | Prep Football: SCNG | Author: In Search of Millionaires | 'The Other Taylor Ward'
Hi, Taylor here. For those that are new and apparently from the Mid-Atlantic, I am Taylor Blake Ward. I have covered the Los Angeles Angels since 2013, and sadly, I do not have the talents to play for the Baltimore Orioles, but do wish Joseph Taylor Ward well in his new endeavors
Kurt Suzuki on José Soriano:
“We wanted to kind of be cautious to him. I mean, it was smoked right off his, I think it was his chest, his right side, didn't want to take a chance, gave us 5 good innings, and I felt like that was the right time to get him out of there.”
FINAL: Angels win 8-0
The bats erupted in the late innings and combined for 15 hits on the night. The bullpen combined for four scoreless innings, making it a 2.81 ERA in the last 20 games.
Soriano 5 IP 3 H 0 R 2 BB 5 K
Guzman 2-for-4, 3 RBI
Adell 4-for-5
Walton 3-for-4, 2 RBI
Angels prospect Trey Gregory-Alford has been less heat dominant tonight (still sitting 96-98) and splitting speed/break on new(ish) curve as well as robbing in more frequent split-changes (video: 88 mph SL, 83 mph CV)
Angels speedster prospect Juan Cespedes has stolen 15 bases in nine games in the Dominican, he's also running a .568 OBP with one strikeout in 40 plate appearances while being shifted from middle infield to center field, borderline 80 runner is circled follow name from this chair
#Angels LHP Johnny Slawinski got touched up a bit, but he still struck out 10 hitters over 4.1 innings and got 23 whiffs on 40 swings. Pretty fun prospect.

Some updates: Jorge Soler and Vaughn Grissom are both doing running drills on the field, Yusei Kikuchi hasn’t started throwing yet, per Suzuki, but is doing some strength training, and Ben Joyce threw 10 pitches off the mound for the first time for the first time in a long time
Paperwork is done. Kentucky first baseman Hudson Brown has officially removed his name from the 2026 Draft.
Brown was expected to go in the fourth or fifth round.
