9/20/24 Angels' Taylor Ward credits September turnaround to improved mechanics. A lack of run support has become an increasing problem for the Angels, but left fielder Taylor Ward isn't among the reasons why. In Thursday night's loss to the Houston Astros, their lone run came off Ward's first-inning home run. It was Ward's fifth leadoff blast of 2024 (all of them coming in the past 19 games), tying him for the fifth-most in MLB. On a 3-and-2 count, Ward crushed Yushi Kikuchi's 95-mile-per-hour fastball 416 feet to left field, where it crashed into Minute Maid Park's brick façade above the seats.

9/15/24 Angels come up short against Astros, lose 4th straight. Taylor Ward and Nolan Schanuel both came steaming toward the plate, just about 30 feet apart, with Schanuel representing the tying run in the bottom of the eighth inning. The ball arrived in between them, just in time to keep the Angels down by a run in a game they went on to lose, 5-3, to the Houston Astros on Saturday night. The unusual play was one of the few moments when the Angels showed some offensive life, but it wasn't enough. Down 4-2, the Angels loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter with one out.

7/22/24 Angels Are One of Five Teams in Poor Shape Entering Trade Deadline. With less than two weeks until Major League Baseball's annual shopping deadline, there are only five teams in poor enough shape to declare themselves sellers. The Chicago White Sox, the Colorado Rockies, the Miami Marlins, the Oakland Athletics, and the Los Angeles Angels are out of playoff contention and can't make the postseason even with the help of a miracle. Outfielder Taylor Ward, reliever Carlos Estevez, starter Tyler Anderson, outfielder Kevin Pillar and infielder Luis Rengifo have all made their way through the rumor mill in recent weeks.
