Los Angeles Angels vs Cleveland Guardians team news, injury reports & key players

Los Angeles Angels team news

Offensively, Kyren Paris has been red-hot, batting .444 over his last five games with a triple, a homer, and three RBI. Nolan Schanuel (.292), Mike Trout (five RBI), and Logan O’Hoppe (two homers) round out a capable top of the order.

The Angels turn to José Soriano, who was lights out in his first outing—a seven-inning gem against the White Sox, where he surrendered just two hits in a 1-0 win.

Cleveland Guardians team news

Rookie Kyle Manzardo has provided some early pop for Cleveland, leading the team with two homers and seven RBI. Steven Kwan enters Friday swinging a hot bat, posting a .348 average and a five-game stretch hitting .316 with a homer and two RBI. José Ramírez (.294) and Carlos Santana (.261) have contributed, but the lineup as a whole has lacked firepower.

Right-hander Gavin Williams takes the ball for the Guardians after a solid season debut, tossing five innings of two-run ball in a no-decision versus Kansas City.
