Schanuel looked to be in a good deal of pain before exiting the contest with assistance. The 23-year-old will undergo further imaging, and his status for the coming week will be determined largely by those results. Either way, it’d be a surprise if Schanuel played Sunday.

And no strikeouts. It’s amazing that the combination led to just four runs. With some help from Luis Rengifo’s botched play, Kikuchi loaded the bases with no outs in the third before being lifted. Ryan Johnson entered and managed to strand all three runners by striking out Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa and then getting Ty France to ground out. Kikuchi dropped to 0-4 with a 4.31 ERA. Kikuchi’s fastball velocity this season was already down 1.3 mph from last year, and it was down another half-mph from that today. His changeup velocity declined even further. Kikuchi just doesn’t seem like a quality mixed-league option right now. He’s due to face the Tigers next.

How brilliant of a talent Neto is that not even the Angels could mess him up. He’s 9-for-30 with three homers in eight games since returning from shoulder surgery. He started off as a No. 7 hitter in his first three games, but he’s been in the second spot the last five in a row.

Coming off a year and a half run as one of the game’s very worst players, Anderson didn’t really do much of anything to earn a spot on the Angels this spring, and it’s hard to understand why he’s playing now. If the Angels don’t believe in Paris — which is justifiable, even if his batted ball numbers this year are still pretty good overall — Kevin Newman sure figures to be the better alternative going forward. Anderson is batting .176/.222/.196 through 54 plate appearances. He has a 27 OPS+ since the beginning of last year and a 49 OPS+ since the beginning of 2023.

With the scored tied 0-0, Soderstrom laced a two-run double off Patrick Corbin to give the A’s the lead and ultimately the victory. The 23-year-old first baseman has been exceptional over the first month of the season with 24 RBI over 29 games and an OPS of .940.

It was the only hit of the game for Walker, but if you’re only going to get one hit, you might as well make it a homer. Walker has gone deep four times in his first year with the Astros, but is still slashing an ugly .192/.273/.354 over the first 27 games of the campaign. Those numbers will improve, but there’s no denying the first sixth of the season has been a disappointing one for the veteran first baseman.

Kurtz takes a seat with lefty Patrick Corbin on the mound for Monday’s series opener at Globe Life Field. The 22-year-old top prospect is hitting .250 (4-for-16) with three RBI through five games since being promoted last week to the big leagues. Some initial turbulence isn’t unexpected as Kurtz acclimates to life in the majors less than a calendar year after being selected fourth overall in the draft. It’ll be Tyler Soderstrom at the cold corner on Monday night in his place.
