The Angels traded Ward to the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for Grayson Rodriguez.

EDGE Analysis

Ward enjoyed one of the best seasons of his MLB career in 2025, posting a .792 OPS while setting new career highs with 36 homers, 103 RBI and 86 runs scored over 157 games. With the 31-year-old slugger due to enter free agency next offseason, the Angels will send him to Baltimore, where Ward figures to remain an everyday starter in the outfield while injecting the lineup with a bit of additional power.

Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels have been easing up Ward's workload while the season winds down, as he'll hit the bench for the second time in four games. Unless he ends up being used as a reserve Sunday, Ward will wrap up his eighth big-league campaign with a .228/.317/.476 slash line, 36 home runs, four stolen bases, 103 RBI and 86 runs in 156 games.

Ward isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Kansas City, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Ward has gone 10-for-27 (.370) with five homers during his seven-game hitting streak, and he'll now get a chance to rest his legs while Chris Taylor starts in left field Thursday.

Ward went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 win against the Royals on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ward's long ball was a 398-foot solo shot in the ninth inning. The veteran outfielder is wrapping up the best campaign of his career, as he's established new personal-best marks with 35 home runs, 102 RBI and 85 runs scored. Ward is one of 11 MLB players to reach 35 homers so far this season.

Ward went 1-for-3 with a solo home run a hit-by-pitch in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ward's power has picked back up late in the year -- he has four homers over his last seven games, though all of them have been solo shots. He's up to 34 long balls this season, nine more than he had in 2024. The outfielder has added a .228/.316/.472 slash line with 101 RBI, 84 runs scored, 31 doubles, two triples and four stolen bases across 151 contests in 2025.

Ward went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday represented Ward's fifth career multi-homer game and his second of the season. The two RBI gave the veteran outfielder the first 100-RBI season of his career as well. Despite batting a poor .225, Ward has a career-high 33 long balls, 31 doubles, 83 runs scored and 72 walks over 551 at-bats to remain a quality fantasy asset in 2025.

Ward went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Ward had been in his longest power drought of the year -- he entered Saturday 16 games removed from his last homer. He connected in the ninth inning off Matt Brash, but it didn't spark a rally for the Angels. The outfielder is batting a paltry .179 (7-for-39) over 11 games in September. He's now at a .224/.315/.462 slash line with 31 homers, 98 RBI, 81 runs scored, four stolen bases, 31 doubles and two triples across 145 games in 2025. Despite the recent slump, he's still within striking distance of his first 100-RBI campaign.

EDGE Analysis

He remains optimistic that he'll be back in the lineup soon but added that the ultimate decision will be up to the medical staff.
