Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 2-for-3, including his 12th home run of the season, in the Angels 7-6 win over the Rangers on Sunday. Trout smoked a pitch clear over the center field fence to get the Angels on the board in the first inning.

Angels In The Infield - The Rise of La Stella and Fletcher rotoballer.com Fri 5/17/19 8:15 AM

The Los Angeles Angels have suffered injuries all across their infield this season, which has led to them being forced to play journeyman utility infielder Tommy La Stella and fringe-prospect David Fletcher in regular roles.However, that decision is paying off in a big way for the Halos, as both players are hitting out of their mind to start off the 2019 campaign. And while there is reason to be suspicious of both player's performance so far, there is also a lot to like when taking a deeper look[...]

Mike Trout Has Three Extra-Base Hits In Last Three Games rotoballer.com Mon 5/13/19 4:19 PM

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout hit his ninth home run of the season to account for the Angels only run in their 5-1 loss to the Orioles on Sunday. Trout is slashing an admirable .283/.460/.575 this season but hasn't really gotten into a groove yet this season. But the former MVP has one double and two home runs over his last three games and appears to be past the groin injury that shelved him for a week in April. Trout's best days are ahead of him and should be active in all fantasy f[...]

Pitching days can be pure euphoria firing up the games to watch your pitchers (hopefully) mow down the opposing team for several innings. Catching one of your hitters at-bats just doesnt create that same lasting feeling.Or, at least thats what I used to say. Nowadays, I find myself bracing for dear life whenever I tune in to watch a start or go onto my phone to check the stats. This new environment has completely shifted that paradigm, something I wrote about on CBS last week. Ill save you some[...]

Mike Trout Needs More RBI Opportunities rotoballer.com Tue 5/7/19 3:27 PM

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout and Co. will open up a series in Detroit on Tuesday night against the Tigers.
