Weird that Neto isn’t starting.

Yeah, not sure why you activate someone from a rehab stint and then leave him on the bench.

If I had to guess it’s one final start before Paris is sent down and Fletcher is called up to pretend he’s Rengifo. 

[greginpsca]

He could be arriving late.

GO ANGELS!!!!

WIN THIS SERIES!!!! FINISH WITH A FLOURISH!!!

11 under .500 with 19 games to play; 15 behind Houston in ALW; 13.5 behind Toronto in WC; elimination numbers are 5 (ALW) and 7 (WC); otherwise, it's all good. Play ball all the way through Oct. 1.

Oh, and sweep Seattle just to ease the fans' frustration this week.

Getting the feeling that Trout will be shut down?

This was from yesterday.  He's taking "dry swings" (i.e., no pitches are being thrown to him).  With 18 games left after today, though, I don't really care one way or the other if he makes it back.

Go Halos!

[Angels 1961]

Nice to see halo catchers can also DH

[Farmbuildingfan]

Cant wait to see Rendon out there again. I will be so excited to see him back on the field

what in the world happened to cj cron? i don't remember what his injury is, but i didn't think it was going to take so long for him to recover.

@Jeff Fletcher any updates?

This is from 5 days ago:

https://www.rotoballer.com/player-news/c-j-cron-hopes-to-play-again-this-year/1230200

Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin said "it will be a little bit of time" before first baseman C.J. Cron (back) can return to the team. Cron said on Monday that he has yet to start swinging a bat, but he's hoping that he can still return before the end of the season. He also dealt with back issues earlier this year before being acquired in a trade with the Colorado Rockies at the deadline in early August. The 33-year-old tried to play through lower-back inflammation before he was put on the 10-day injured list on Aug. 18 (retroactive to Aug. 16). With very little time left this year, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Cron to make it back. The Angels called up rookie Nolan Schanuel, a first-round pick this year, to help fill in at first base with Cron sidelined.

"With very little time left this year, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Cron to make it back."

Now that is some fine trolling going on there.

We talked to him a few days ago and he said he was getting better but not yet cleared for baseball activity. He says he is trying to come back but it seems like maybe he won’t make it. He said he’s had this back issue since May. 

[daygloman]

Right on!

Go Halos!

[Stradling]

That was a damn good play

Trout paying attention to what really matters now:

Nice!

Go Halos!

BiBee's got a case of the twitches, LOL.

He'll have plenty of time to watch them next month

The Angels announced this afternoon that they had activated right-hander Ben Joyce from the 60-day injured list and shortstop Zach Neto from the 10-day injured list. In corresponding moves, first baseman Trey Cabbage and left-hander Kolton Ingram were optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake. Anaheim’s 40-man roster stands at 39 after activating Joyce.

[jsnpritchett]

This game is pretty dull.  The Angels have 2 hits so far and have scored their 2 runs on a sac fly and and a groundout.  Wheeeeee...
