The Los Angeles Angels lost, 7-3, to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday as they dropped to 16-23 on the year.

In more unfortunate news, a top pitching prospect for the Halos was hit by a line drive and forced to exit the game. The right-hander tossed seven strikeouts before the scary incident occurred in the Double-A matchup.

Additionally, a southpaw has resurfaced in the Angels organization after he was designated for assignment towards the end of March. He is coming off of a 2024 campaign where he posted the best ERA of his career, and looks to rejoin a Halos bullpen that is in serious need of assistance.
