Paris went 1-for-2 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
Paris has started just two of the last six games, as he's struggled to maintain a decent share of playing time while Matthew Lugo's been swinging a hot bat. Prior to Tuesday, Paris had gone 1-for-22 over his previous seven games dating back to May 8. The 23-year-old is slashing .198/.279/.397 with a 10:53 BB:K, seven steals, six home runs, 11 RBI and 19 runs scored over 40 contests this season. The poor plate discipline and overall lack of hitting is likely to keep Paris in a part-time role, particularly if Lugo continues to command a majority of the starts in center field.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Homers in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
O'Hoppe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
O'Hoppe recorded his third multi-hit effort in the last four games, a span in which he's also homered twice and added seven RBI. Prior to this strong stretch, he endured a 2-for-27 slump over his previous eight games. The catcher is up to 11 long balls, 25 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .264/.296/.500 slash line across 41 contests this season.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Delivers game-tying homer
Rotowire
Moncada went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
Moncada provided a quick response to the Athletics' three-run fourth inning, countering with a three-run shot in the fifth to tie the game at 4-4. The third baseman has hit fairly well since returning from a sprained right thumb May 6, going 12-for-49 (.245) with four homers and 13 RBI over his last 13 games. He's at a .229/.349/.486 slash line through 83 plate appearances on the year.

Angels' Kenley Jansen: Earns 10th save
Rotowire
Jansen allowed a run on two hits and struck out two over one inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
Jansen gave up a run in a save situation for the first time this season, but he had a three-run cushion to work with. He's had a heavy workload of late, pitching four of the last five days, which may explain his struggles Tuesday. The 37-year-old is up to 10 saves while adding a 5.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 15.1 innings. Should a save situation arise Wednesday, Ryan Zeferjahn, Brock Burke or Hector Neris could be options to step in, as it's unlikely Jansen will be asked to pitch three days in a row.

Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Yields two homers in win
Rotowire
Hendricks (2-5) allowed four runs on nine hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Tuesday.
Hendricks ran into trouble in the fourth inning, yielding a solo home run to Shea Langeliers and a two-run blast to Nick Kurtz to break a 1-1 tie. The Angels covered for Hendricks with a four-run fifth, and that allowed him to pick up his second win of the season. After a bumpy April, Hendricks has settled into a more consistent rhythm in May, albeit not at a particularly impressive level with 11 runs allowed over 24.1 innings. He's posted a 5.32 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB across 47.1 innings through nine starts this season. He's also allowed nine homers this season, though Tuesday marked the first time he's given up more than one in a start. Hendricks is tentatively projected for a favorable home start versus the Marlins this weekend.

Angels' Matthew Lugo: On bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Lugo isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.
Prior to Tuesday, Lugo had started in five consecutive games. In that stretch, he went 6-for-19 with a home run and two RBI. However, he struck out eight times and did not manage a walk in that span. While the rookie has been hitting the ball well, he will get some rest Tuesday with Kyren Paris starting in center field.

Angels' Jorge Soler: Idle Tuesday
Rotowire
Soler isn't in the Angels' lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Soler has been struggling at the plate with a slash line of .133/.257/.133 across his last 35 plate appearances. The 33-year-old will get a chance to reset on the bench Tuesday as Logan O'Hoppe takes over as the designated hitter.

Angels' Sammy Peralta: Nets MiLB deal with Angels
Rotowire
The Angels signed Peralta to a minor-league contract Monday.
Peralta collected a 4.37 ERA and 29:18 K:BB over 35 innings in parts of the previous two campaigns with the White Sox and had been pitching in the Mexican League this year. He will give the Halos some left-handed relief depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Angels' Christian Moore: Promoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Moore has been promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Moore is being bumped up a level in spite of an unimpressive .234/.342/.323 batting line and 27.4 percent strikeout rate at Double-A Rocket City. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Moore has a shot to debut in 2025, but he'll need to pick up the production.

Angels' Taylor Ward: Continues power surge
Rotowire
Ward went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-3 win over the Athletics on Monday.
Ward's long ball was a two-run shot in the third inning that broke a 2-2 tie. The outfielder homered for the third straight game and has now gone deep five times in his past seven contests. During that span, Ward is slashing .276/.344/.828 with 10 RBI and six runs scored.
Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Three extra-base hits in win
Rotowire
Schanuel went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and two total runs scored in Monday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.
This was an unusual display of power for the contact-hitting first baseman, and he played a big role in the Angels' win. Schanuel went deep in the first inning and came around to score again on a Taylor Ward homer in the third. Over his last 14 games, Schanuel has logged seven multi-hit efforts, going 19-for-51 (.373) in that span. He's up to three homers, 14 RBI, 25 runs scored, nine doubles, one stolen base and a .277/.365/.406 slash line over 44 contests this season.

Angels' Hector Neris: Tosses scoreless frame
Rotowire
Neris (finger) struck out one during a scoreless inning in Monday's 4-3 victory over the Athletics.
Neris has been dealing with a blister on his pitching hand since Saturday, so it was good to see him deliver a strong outing on the way to Monday's win. He got through the eighth inning with ease, firing seven of his nine pitches for strikes. The team will presumably check in on the right-hander Tuesday morning to see how he bounces back from Monday's relief appearance.

Angels' Kenley Jansen: Locks down ninth save
Rotowire
Jansen allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.
Jansen has kept runs off the board in his last three outings, spanning 3.1 innings. The veteran closer was able to picked up his ninth save of the season Monday, and his second save in three days, with a 16-pitch outing. He remains a perfect 9-for-9 in save chances while pitching to a 5.02 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB over 14.1 innings.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Earns third win
Rotowire
Soriano (3-4) allowed three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Monday.
Soriano wasn't at his best, but he was still good enough to picked up his third quality start over four outings in May. He also got back in the win column for the first time since April 10 versus the Rays. Soriano's continued success has come from keeping the ball down -- he hasn't allowed a home run in his last five starts and has given up just three long balls all season. That's helped to keep his ERA at 3.57 despite a 1.48 WHIP and 46:27 K:BB over 58 innings. His next start is expected to be in a favorable home matchup versus the Marlins this weekend.

Angels' Mike Trout: Progresses to on-field jogging
Rotowire
Trout (knee) was spotted jogging in the outfield prior to Monday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
This is another step in the right direction for Trout, who was cleared to begin hitting off a machine Friday and ran on an anti-gravity treadmill May 12. The club will presumably check in on the star outfielder Tuesday morning to see how he's feeling after Monday's activity. Trout remains without a firm timetable for a return from the 10-day injured list.

Angels' Sam Bachman: Back from IL, heads to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels reinstated Bachman (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Bachman started the season on the IL while he recovered from thoracic outlet syndrome, which prevented him from pitching in any Cactus League games during spring training. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire, with whom he made two one-inning appearances before heading to Triple-A. He's since made three one-inning relief appearances for Salt Lake and looks poised to remain in the Triple-A bullpen after he had been previously been utilized as a starter in the minors since the Angels selected him in the first round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft.
