These 5 players just never lived up to the hype.

The Los Angeles Angels finally had a big trade deadline in which the team traded away several players, some with control, but couldn't deal infielder Yoan Moncada who is rehabbing a knee surgery.

Manager Kurt Suzuki said the Angels are “still evaluating” their options for Jack Kochanowicz’s replacement in the rotation.

It's unclear how much time he will miss.

The Los Angeles Angels optioned struggling left fielder Josh Lowe to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday and placed third baseman Yoán Moncada on the 10-day injured list because of right knee inflammation. The team promoted infielder Donovan Walton and outfielder Wade Meckler from Salt Lake. Both were in the lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Texas Rangers, with Meckler in left field and Walton at third base.

Los Angeles Angels' third baseman Yoan Moncada faces a grim outlook with his injured knee.

There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Angels are the worst team in the American League this season. Here are 7 players fans are fed up with.

The Los Angeles Angels finalized a $4 million, one-year contract on Monday to keep third baseman Yoán Moncada. Moncada, who will be 31 in May, batted .234 with 12 homers, 35 RBIs and a .783 OPS over 84 games for Los Angeles last season. Moncada fills a need at third base for the Angels, who don't expect to have Anthony Rendon in uniform for the final season of his disastrous $245 million, seven-year contract.

We’re getting closer to the reporting date for pitchers and catchers, and the Los Angeles Angels actually have a preliminary roster of sorts. You have to squint a lot to see who’s actually going to be on it, but Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com took a run at that puzzle and came up with a pretty close approximation.
