Kevin Newman - Favorite to open season at SS Newman has a "leg up on the competition" to open the season as the Angels' starting shortstop while Zach Neto (shoulder) is sidelined, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Tim Anderson and Scott Kingery are Newman's chief competitors for the gig, but Newman is the safest choice since he's on a guaranteed contract and offers the steadiest glove of the group. While Neto has already been ruled out for Opening Day, it's not yet clear whether he will miss closer to the first week or the first month of the season. Newman slashed .278/.311/.375 with three homers over 111 games in 2024 with the Diamondbacks.

Luis Rengifo - Scratched with tight hamstring The Angels scratched Rengifo from the lineup for Monday's Cactus League game against the Rockies due to a tight hamstring, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Tim Anderson will start at second base and bat leadoff in place of Rengifo, who can be viewed as day-to-day until the Angels provide another update regarding the severity of the hamstring injury. Though a healthy Rengifo may not have a permanent home at one set position in 2025, he's expected to handle a near-everyday role while likely slotting near the top of the lineup against right-handed pitching.

Taylor Ward - Day-to-day with knee soreness Ward is dealing with some knee soreness and is considered day-to-day, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact It helps explain why he hasn't played in a Cactus League game since Friday. Given the day-to-day designation, Ward should be fine, barring any setbacks. He's projected as the Angels' everyday left fielder and likely leadoff hitter this season.

Victor Mederos - Cut from big-league camp The Angels optioned Mederos to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
Impact Mederos is entering his third season as a member of the Angels' 40-man roster, but he made just seven total appearances at the big-league level between the 2023 and 2024 campaigns and was facing an uphill battle to win a spot on the Opening Day roster. All seven of his big-league outings have come relief, but the 23-year-old righty will likely work out of the rotation at Salt Lake to begin the upcoming season.

Jo Adell - Belts grand slam in spring game Adell went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's Cactus League loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Adell got the best of Dustin May in the second inning, swatting a grand slam to left-center field to give the Angels an early lead. That was the outfielder's only knock of the game, however, and in fact it's his only hit so far this spring through 12 at-bats. Adell and Mickey Moniak are vying for time in center field for the upcoming season now that Mike Trout is moving to right field.

Yusei Kikuchi - Rebounds after rough inning Friday Kikuchi pitched 2.2 innings in a Cactus League game against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three batters.
Impact Kikuchi began his outing by giving up a home run to Shohei Ohtani, then served up two straight singles that led to another run via a sacrifice fly. The veteran lefty was lifted with two outs and two runners on base in the first frame, but under spring training rules he was allowed to re-enter the contest in the second. Kikuchi looked good after that return, retiring the final six batters he pitched to. Despite the uneven outing, Kikuchi is penciled in to start for the Angels on Opening Day against the White Sox.

Reid Detmers - Hurls three frames in spring start Detmers pitched three scoreless innings in a Cactus League contest against the White Sox on Friday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out two batters.
Impact Detmers' second spring start began shakily, as he allowed two of the first four White Sox batters to reach base. However, the southpaw rebounded thereafter, retiring seven of the final eight hitters he faced. It was a promising performance by Detmers as he seeks to win the Angels' fifth-starter job. Jack Kochanowicz, who was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday due to an illness, is likely Detmers' top competition for the role.
