The Los Angeles Angels lost, 9-1, to the Detroit Tigers Friday evening as they dropped their seventh straight and fell to 12-19 on the year.

Ahead of the loss, the Halos made a few exciting signings. A veteran utility man and a former prospect were both added to try and get the Angels back into the win column.

Additionally, Mike Trout was added to the injured list as an incident during Thursday's contest caused him to leave early. The injury dealt with the same knee which the three-time MVP had multiple surgeries on in 2024.

Finally, in more unfortunate injury news, Ben Joyce isn't close to returning to the mound. The reliever is slowly going about his recovery, according to an Angels insider.
