Trout went 1-for-3 with a home run, an additional RBI and two walks in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Trout produced the Angels' first run with a solo blast to center field in the third inning. The long ball was his first since May 5 -- a span of 12 games. Trout has been streaky this season, and he previously had a 13-game homerless stretch that was followed by a run of five long balls in four contests. That should provide hope that Trout can begin another productive stretch after entering Tuesday having gone 1-for-18 across his previous five games.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Coughs up eight runs in defeat
Rotowire
Detmers (1-5) allowed eight runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over 5.2 innings in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Detmers was largely done in by a disastrous third inning, during which he gave up six runs on seven hits. To his credit, the left-hander hung around to at least prevent the Angels' bullpen from being depleted, and the final two runs on his ledger came after his departure in the sixth. Detmers also showed good swing-and-miss stuff with 19 whiffs and eight punchouts, but his ERA took a big hit and jumped from 4.20 to 5.07. He's lined up to face Texas at home in his next start.
Neto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Monday in a 2-1 victory versus the Athletics.
Like every other Angels batter, Neto entered the ninth inning without a hit against A's starter J.T. Ginn. Adam Frazier opened the frame with a single to break up the no-no, and Neto then ended the contest in dramatic fashion with a two-run blast to center field. The long ball was Neto's eighth of the campaign, and he's added seven stolen bases, 31 runs and 22 RBI while slashing .225/.336/.412 through 48 contests.

Angels' Walbert Urena: Tosses six scoreless frames
Rotowire
Urena allowed four hits and walked two batters while striking out four over six scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Monday.
Urena was excellent in the outing, holding the A's scoreless while tossing 92 pitches over six innings. However, he was outshone for most of the game by Athletics starter J.T. Ginn, who carried a no-hitter into the ninth before ultimately serving up a walk-off homer. Urena recorded just four strikeouts, but he induced 15 whiffs. The right-hander has put his name on the fantasy radar with a string of strong appearances -- over his past four starts, Urena has posted a 1.64 ERA despite a modest 17:9 K:BB across 22 innings.
Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Roughed up in first start
Rotowire
Rodriguez (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks over 3.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.
After opening the season on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, Rodriguez failed to contain the Dodgers' offense in his first start of the year and ultimately exited before completing four innings. Having not pitched in the big leagues since 2024 due to multiple arm injuries, the rust was evident for the right-hander, who struggled both in permitting free passes and limiting hard contact Sunday. How the Angels monitor his workload coming off those injuries remains to be seen, though Rodriguez is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Rangers.
Grissom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Grissom started the previous seven games and will hit the bench after going 5-for-27 with a double and a homer during that span. Adam Frazier will step in at the keystone and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.
The Angels optioned Manoah to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
The right-hander was reinstated from the injured list May 6 and will now head to the minors after giving up eight earned runs with a 5:8 K:BB in three appearances (7.1 innings). Manoah was unscored upon in his first two outings but struggled mightily in Saturday's contest. He's being demoted to make room on the big-league roster for Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder), who is coming off the IL to start Sunday's game versus the Dodgers.

Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Activated for 2026 debut
Rotowire
The Angels reinstated Rodrigez (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
The Angels acquired Rodriguez from the Orioles during the offseason and he opened the campaign on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The 26-year-old last pitched in the big leagues in 2024 due to multiple arm issues, but he's ready to make his Halos debut after making two minor-league rehab starts. Rodriguez threw 94 pitches across 4.2 innings during his last rehab outing, so he shouldn't face significant workload limitations.
Soriano (6-3) allowed six runs on one hit, six walks and one hit batsman while striking out six over 5.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.
On one hand, holding the Dodgers to a single hit is impressive, but they often didn't have to take the bat off their shoulders to reach base. Soriano landed just 48 of 92 pitches for strikes, though he still racked up 16 whiffs on 36 swings. It was the freebies that ultimately ruined the outing, particularly in the sixth inning -- of the last five batters he faced, he walked four and plunked one. That forced in two runs, and Chase Silseth allowed all three inherited runners to score, as well. The six runs allowed are a season high for Soriano, though he still has a 2.41 ERA with a 1.07 WHIP and 67:26 K:BB through 59.2 innings over 10 starts. He's allowed 12 runs over 17 innings in May, so the early magic looks to be wearing off.
Dana was pulled in the third inning his latest start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday due to fatigue, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Per the Angels, Dana is still dealing with fatigue stemming from his diagnosis of mononucleosis in January, and he finished Thursday's start having allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 2.1 innings. Given his latest setback, Dana could be removed from a turn in Salt Lake's rotation to give himself extra time to recover. He has a 1-2 record across five starts in Triple-A with a 6.38 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 18.1 innings.

Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: No timetable for return
Rotowire
D'Arnaud (foot) told reporters Saturday that he does not have a timetable for his return from the 10-day injured list, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
D'Arnaud landed on the 10-day injured list May 8 due to right foot plantar fasciitis. He's kept the weight off his foot by using a scooter and relayed that he'll have a better sense of his rehab timeline once he's able to put weight on his foot. Sebastian Rivero will continue to operate as the Angels' backup catcher behind Logan O'Hoppe for as long as d'Arnaud is sidelined.
