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.

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.

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.

Tovar hit the injured list last weekend with a left hip contusion, but figures to be ready to rejoin Colorado’s lineup at some point in early May. He’s gotten off to an extremely slow start at the dish, hitting .212 (14-for-66) with zero homers, four RBI and two steals in 16 games.

Schunk was up with the Rockies over the past week as extra infield depth, going 5-for-20 in seven games. He’s likely to miss a couple weeks, even if it’s a relatively minor issue.

Wilson’s power showing over spring training have carried over into the regular season, and while there’s a long way to go, it’s a big boost to fantasy player’s confidence. It should be, anyway. The 23-year-old isn’t draw ing many free passes, but a .347/.354/.500 slash is awfully hard to complain about. Wilson will see some regression in the power numbers, but the bat-to-ball skills will always make him a threat for a high average.
