The Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals, 4-3, on Wednesday as Jo Adell had a monster game, driving in every run. The Halos improved to 66-73 on the year as right-hander Robert Stephenson earned his first win since 2023.

Ahead of the eventual victory, the Angels added an infielder from the Houston Astros organization. The 27-year-old last made a big league appearances with the Athletics earlier this season.

In a corresponding move, a right-handed pitcher was transferred to the 60-day injured list. The 24-year-old right-hander has a 3.39 ERA across 16 Triple-A appearances, but has been struggling through his first 17 innings of the year in MLB play.

The Angels made another roster move on Wednesday, calling up right-handed pitcher Caden Dana, who started Wednesday's game, allowing two earned runs over five innings. Right-handed pitcher Chase Silseth was sent down

Finally, acting manager Ray Montgomery provided an update on superstar Mike Trout's injury. The three-time MVP has missed the last two contests with a skin infection on his arm after undergoing a major slump in August.
