Angels manager Ron Washington called a team meeting before Tuesday’s game in Detroit, following a five-game losing streak and 13 losses in 16 games. The meeting aimed to refocus the team after a tough stretch, with players speaking about encouraging each other. Despite a challenging season, players remain close-knit and committed to finishing strong in their remaining 31 games. The Angels, with a 54-77 record, are in last place in the AL West with little chance of salvaging the season, but they aim to play better baseball for experience and improvement. Left-handed reliever Matt Moore was placed on the injured list with a forearm strain, with plans to return this season. The Angels called up right-hander Ryan Miller to replace him on the roster.
The team has expressed confidence in pitcher Griffin Canning, who earned another start after a strong performance following an opener. The Angels’ Dominican Summer League affiliate has advanced to the championship series, bringing some positivity to the organization. Up next, the Angels will face the Tigers with Canning on the mound. Despite a challenging season, the team remains resilient and committed to finishing the season on a positive note. The meeting served as a reminder of their unity and determination to overcome adversity together.
