ANAHEIM -- Angels superstar Mike Trout said his twice surgically repaired left knee is feeling better and he’s open to potentially moving to a corner outfield spot or serving as designated hitter more often to try to stay healthy. Trout, a three-time AL MVP and 11-time All-Star, tore his left

ANAHEIM -- Growing up in Aliso Viejo, Calif., just 20 miles south of Anaheim, Eric Wagaman was an avid Angels fan, counting scrappy infielders David Eckstein and Chone Figgins as his favorite players. So it was extra meaningful for Wagaman to make his Major League debut with his hometown club

There was nothing trashy about these performances at Double-A. The Angels' No. 2 and No. 3 prospects -- Christian Moore and George Klassen -- entered the final Saturday for the Trash Pandas on similar footings. Moore -- who last played Aug. 30 after suffering a left meniscus injury -- looked

We love the Arizona Fall League and can't wait to see several of baseball's best prospects face off against each other. The 30-game schedule begins Oct. 7, with the Fall Stars Game slated for Nov. 9 and the championship game for Nov. 16. Since the developmental circuit began play in

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Angels were dealt a couple of blows before Tuesday’s 10-5 loss to the Twins at Target Field, as rookie closer Ben Joyce and veteran third baseman Anthony Rendon were both placed on the injured list. Joyce landed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation, while Rendon

Good pitching can be hard to find -- look at the flurry of activity at the Trade Deadline for evidence -- so clubs that can develop talents on the mound themselves can get a considerable leg up on the competition. Think of where the Phillies would be without homegrown talents

MINNEAPOLIS -- It’s only been two starts, but left-hander Reid Detmers has been impressive in his return to the rotation after a three-month stint at Triple-A Salt Lake.

ARLINGTON -- Compared with advanced analytics, the quality start is a quaint, inexact, almost arbitrary measure of whether a starting pitcher put in a decent day’s work. But for a rookie like Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz, throwing six innings or more and allowing three earned runs or less adds up
