Angels sit Trout, Rendon and Ward for first doubleheader game

Usanewsposts
May 14, 20220

OAKLAND — Joe Maddon is committed to playing the long game.

After posting a lineup for the day portion of Saturday’s doubleheader that didn’t include Mike Trout, Anthony Rendon or Taylor Ward, Maddon explained that he wanted to keep his players fresh by keeping them on a regular schedule.

They played a night game Friday, to be followed by another night game Saturday, and then a day game Sunday, before three straight night games in Texas.

“It’s just a cumulative kind of thing for me,” Maddon said. “Everything’s interconnected. It’s never in a vacuum. It’s never in a bubble. So just try to stay with the plan, give the appropriate rest. It’s still May. I do believe that you reap the benefits in August and September if you take care of people right now.”

Trout and Rendon are coming off injury-shortened seasons, and Ward had a tight hamstring earlier this week.

Maddon said he planned to play Shohei Ohtani at DH in both games, which eliminated the possibility of using one of his older veterans – Trout or Rendon – as the DH in one of the games.

Maddon said Ohtani is fresher because he doesn’t play in the field. DHing one game and playing in the field in another is still more taxing for Trout than just DHing two games would be for Ohtani.

Maddon also opted to use Jack Mayfield in right field instead of Tyler Wade, even though Wade has more experience in the outfield. Maddon said he wanted to have Wade at third base because the A’s lineup was loaded with righties against left-hander Jhonathan Diaz.

Maddon also chose to put Aaron Whitefield in center and Brandon Marsh in left because he likes what Marsh has done in left and doesn’t want to bounce him back and forth unnecessarily.

NOTES

Matt Duffy rejoined the Angels on Saturday morning after a stint on the COVID-related injured list, but he was not yet activated. Duffy could be activated for the second game of the doubleheader. …

  • Angels rally late but lose to Rays in 10 innings ANAHEIM — The Angels’ magical streak came to an anti-climactic end on Wednesday. Although Taylor Ward’s game-tying home run in the eighth inning seemed right in line with the way things had been going for the Angels during their three-game winning streak, they nonetheless lost, 4-2, to the Tampa Bay Rays in 10 innings. The Angels had won three in a row, with a come-from-behind, walk-off victory on Sunday, a Shohei Ohtani grand slam on Monday and a Reid Detmers…

  • Angels’ Griffin Canning faces hitters in key step toward return ANAHEIM — Griffin Canning took a significant step toward returning to the Angels’ rotation on Monday. Canning, who has been rehabbing from a lower back stress reaction, faced hitters for the equivalent of two innings. Afterward, the right-hander said he was “excited” about the latest step in his rehab. “I wasn’t as crisp as I’d like to be, but it’s the first time I’ve faced hitters in almost a year,” Canning said. Manager Joe Maddon said he was happy with…
  • Angels’ David Fletcher back on injured list, surgery possible ANAHEIM — David Fletcher is headed back to the injured list. The Angels infielder is out again with a recurrence of the left hip strain that sidelined him in the first month of the season, and this time he may need surgery to repair it. Fletcher said Sunday he’s heading to see a specialist in Philadelphia on Monday, and that surgery is “on the table.” Fletcher said he expects to be back this season, even if he has surgery. “Obviously…
  • Angels lose David Fletcher until midseason following surgery ANAHEIM ― The hip injury that caused Angels infielder David Fletcher to miss more than half of the season’s first month will keep him sidelined until midseason. Fletcher, 27, underwent surgery Tuesday in Philadelphia to repair his left and right adductor muscles, as well as his rectus abdominis muscle. Head athletic trainer Mike Frostad said Fletcher will need “a couple months” to get back on the field. That projects to a return around the All-Star break, July 18-22. “The surgeon…
  • Shohei Ohtani hits 1st grand slam among his 2 HRs in Angels’ rout of Rays ANAHEIM — Shohei Ohtani had been gradually warming up for more than a week, and he officially exploded on Monday night. Ohtani hit a pair of home runs, including his first grand slam on either side of the globe, in the Angels’ 11-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Angels also got homers from Mike Trout and Jared Walsh. It was Trout’s 161st homer at Angel Stadium, breaking Tim Salmon’s franchise record. Ohtani is now approaching his own milestone,…
  • Angels’ Chase Silseth throws six one-hit innings against A’s in major league debut OAKLAND — Chase Silseth left little doubt that he’s ready for the major leagues. Less than a year removed from the draft and with just eight professional games under his belt, Silseth was promoted from Double-A and pitched six scoreless innings in his big league debut on Friday, leading the Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Oakland A’s. The right-hander gave up one hit, walked two and struck out four. Silseth, 21, was the second pitcher in Angels history…
  • Angels rookie Reid Detmers throws a no-hitter in victory over Rays ANAHEIM ― More than any one player, the Angels’ hopes for their 2022 season rested on their pitching staff. They spent $21 million last winter on one pitcher, former All-Star Noah Syndergaard. They used another $6.75 million to sign another, Orange County native Michael Lorenzen. They demoted holdover Jaime Barría to the bullpen and gave 22-year-old left-hander Reid Detmers another spot in the rotation after a shortened spring training competition. Entering Tuesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Detmers had…
  • Angels’ Griffin Canning has a setback in his rehab OAKLAND — Griffin Canning’s path back to the big leagues has hit a speed bump. Canning said on Monday that he felt good after facing hitters in a two-inning simulated game, but since then he has felt some discomfort that prompted the Angels to stop his rehab from a low back stress reaction. “He’s going to take a little more time with our medical staff in Anaheim and we’ll take it day by day,” General Manager Perry Minasian said on…
