Cabbage pinch hit later in the game.

Cabbage and Moniak were just sitting because they were facing a lefty.

Cabbage pinch hit later in the game so it seems like it was just a day off for him

Couldn't find much on Natera in terms of a scouting report but he is mentioned in this article

Los Angeles Angels:

LHP Sammy Natera (17th Round, $125,000) 

Natera fits the basic checklist of desirable modern pitching traits with a flat VAA, lower release, and high rise fastballs. While Natera’s fastballs lack prominent velocity, they play up a level because of their traits. Furthermore, Natera understands this and throws his fastballs in a high target zone at a high clip. 17” of rise is more above average than what the movement metric tells independently, as it’s contextualized with a low release. Natera’s primary secondary is a tight two plane slider that projects as a quality offering. There are shades of Andrew Heany mechanically in Natera and hopefully the Angels can refine Natera to be a quality big league pitching piece.

The BBs would also possibly be solid, if not for the new tacky baseball.

So who’s getting traded, Rengifo or Soto?

Perhaps loading up on INF depth to prepare for potential Soto/Rengifo trade?

He's just a random guy.  I don't think his signing has any bearing one way or the other on any potential trades.  He hit .162/.302/.400 last year and struck out 113 times in 210 AB.

I could see the Angels moving Soto for a AAA catcher with some options.

Even when Stassi returns, they stand to potentially lose either Thaiss or Wallach to waivers. They’re dangerously thin at catcher and as much as I like Soto, if they can land just a controllable back-up glove-first guy, it’s probably worth it.

Cam could just be a new body to have at AA if Soto is dealt.

Mason Albright may have had his best start ever tonight.   5IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 Ks, he gave up a couple bombs but whatever.  

Baby steps.

2 HR from Moniak tonight

After walking 4 in his first appearance (less than an inning), Joyce has walked 3 in the past 5 innings along with 2 hits and 2 HBP’s and 6 Ks.

Better, but still work to be done.

He’s not in a league using the experimental sticky balls, is he?

Paging Jeff Gillooly, the Angels are calling on line 1.

That’s not good.  Well he needs to be moved to a league where we can have a reasonable baseline to judge when he’s ready.
