Los Angeles Angels’ Mike Trout day-to-day after pitch injures left hand

Mike Trout left the Los Angeles Angels’ 8-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday after being hit in his left hand by a pitch, but the team said X-rays were negative, and the three-time American League MVP is day-to-day. Trout was struck by a 1-1 slider from Rangers right-hander Spencer Patton leading off the fifth inning. Trout said he had difficultly picking up the 81 mph pitch in the shadows on a day when Globe Life Field’s roof was open and that he lowered his hands to protect his midsection. “Like a normal day, I probably just turn like this [pivoting his left shoulder inward] and just […]

Tiger Woods plays 18-hole practice round at Augusta National as Masters decision looms

Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods, who is trying to come back from serious leg and foot injuries he suffered in a car wreck about 14 months ago, played 18 holes at Augusta National Golf Club on Tuesday, sources told ESPN. Woods, 46, played all 18 holes with his son, Charlie, and PGA Tour pro Justin Thomas, his close friend, sources said. “He played every one of them,” a source told ESPN. “He looked good to me.” Woods and his team arrived Tuesday morning at Augusta Regional Airport on his Gulfstream private jet, stirring anticipation on social media that he was training to […]

Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani makes spring mound debut, striking out five and giving up one run

Two-way star Shohei Ohtani had a solid spring training debut on the mound Monday, striking out five while giving up one run over 2⅓ innings for the Los Angeles Angels. Last year’s American League MVP was sharp in the first, getting a called strike on his first pitch to Kansas City’s Kyle Isbel and then earning the strikeout by blowing a high fastball past the left fielder three pitches later. The right-hander retired seven of the 11 hitters he faced. Edward Olivares hit a one-out single and JaCoby Jones was hit by a pitch in the second. The Royals scored their run in the third when Isbel’s […]

Freddie Freeman reaches agreement with Los Angeles Dodgers on six-year, $162 million deal

Freddie Freeman has agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a six-year, $162 million deal, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel on Wednesday night. Freeman, 32, reached free agency for the first time in his career after helping the Atlanta Braves attain their first World Series since 1995 with a six-game triumph over the Houston Astros. During his 12th big league season, the first baseman hit .300 (eighth in the National League) with 31 homers, 83 RBIs and an NL-leading 120 runs. Freeman’s deal has the second-highest average annual value ($27 million) ever for a first baseman (behind Miguel Cabrera’s eight-year deal with […]

Tiger Woods frustrated at pace of recovery after wreck, ‘still working’ on walking with limited golf activity

Tiger Woods stated he will be back playing golf on the PGA Tour; he just doesn’t know when. As Woods, 46, nears the one-year anniversary of the car wreck that nearly cost him his right leg and led to multiple surgeries, he said Wednesday that he’s making progress — but not nearly as fast as he wants. “I wish I could tell you when I’m playing again,” Woods said during a news conference at the Genesis Invitational, which benefits his foundation. “I want to know, but I don’t. My golf activity has been very limited. I can chip and putt really […]

Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson erupts in 4th quarter to down Los Angeles Lakers

The final stretch of the Golden State Warriors’ Saturday night game versus the Los Angeles Lakers felt eerily similar to the contest they played against the New York Knicks two days before. The Warriors were having trouble with the Lakers’ size. They also experienced some periods of ball-watching. And their execution was poor. But there was a major, game-changing difference. After missing the shot that would have sent their game against the Knicks into overtime, Klay Thompson came out as a flamethrower in the final quarter in a 117-115 win over the Lakers. He scored 16 points in the fourth, the most he’s scored in a quarter […]

Los Angeles Dodgers promote Brandon Gomes to general manager

Brandon Gomes, a former major league pitcher just six years removed from his playing days, has been named general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a position left vacant since Farhan Zaidi’s departure to the San Francisco Giants. Gomes, 37, has a long history with Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, who initially traded for Gomes when he served as GM of the Tampa Bay Rays in December 2010. Shortly after Gomes retired at the end of the 2016 season, Friedman — two years into his tenure with the Dodgers at that point — hired him as the organization’s pitching performance coordinator. Looking […]

Brad Ausmus joins Oakland A’s as bench coach for first-time manager Mark Kotsay

Brad Ausmus, former manager of the Detroit Tigers and the Los Angeles Angels, has been hired as bench coach for the Oakland Athletics, providing some much-needed experience to the coaching staff of rookie manager Mark Kotsay. The A’s settled Kotsay’s coaching staff on Friday, also announcing the promotion of Tommy Everidge to major league hitting coach and the hiring of Chris Cron as an assistant hitting coach. Ausmus, 52, managed the Tigers from 2014 to 2017, winning the American League Central Division at the beginning of that four-year stretch and concluding with a 314-332 regular-season record. The longtime major league catcher then went 72-90 […]

Los Angeles Angels hire Phil Nevin, Bill Haselman and Benji Gil; Adam Eaton could return as coach

The Los Angeles Angels are bringing in Phil Nevin, Bill Haselman and Benji Gil as part of their coaching staff under manager Joe Maddon, the team revealed Wednesday. Their roles have yet to be determined, at least in part because of the uncertainty surrounding Adam Eaton, a prospective coach who played last season and thus can’t communicate with team officials because of Major League Baseball’s ongoing lockout. Eaton, 33, spent the last 10 years as a major league outfielder and made enough of an impression with the Angels in 2021 — particularly on young outfielders Brandon Marsh and Jo Adell — that the team has considered […]

Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani wins AP Male Athlete of Year Award

Most of the time in professional sports, it’s easy to think it’s all been done before. With so many fine-tuned athletes constantly pushing each other to the peak of human potential, we can experience unprecedented demonstrations of sporting brilliance every week of our lives. But it’s truly rare to witness anything that isn’t fundamentally just a better, more prolific version of something we’ve already seen. That’s why Shohei Ohtani’s astonishing redefinition of modern baseball captured the world’s attention so vividly in 2021 — and that’s why the Los Angeles Angels’ two-way superstar is the winner of The Associated Press’ Male Athlete of […]
