Angels Notes: Halos Make Roster Move, Major Injury Updates, Bold Prediction, Mike Trout MVP?

In this story:
The Los Angeles Angels have outrighted southpaw Jack Dashwood to Triple-A Salt Lake upon the Southern California native clearing waivers. After being designated for assignment when Yoan Moncada was sent to the injured list and J.D. Davis was added to the roster, he was not claimed by another team.
The Halos are reportedly close to getting last year's WAR and RBI leader back on the field. Zach Neto has been dazzling offensively during his Triple-A assignment but has a few more defensive hurdles to overcome before he makes it back to Anaheim.
Another productive player is closing in on making not just his 2025 debut, but his debut for the Halos. After an injury-riddled 2024 soon after being acquired, the reliever has a massive update on when fans can finally see him on the mound.
Additionally, a baseball insider made a bold prediction for an Angels prospect that didn't make the team after spring training. According to the insider, this summer may be when he breaks through to the Big A.
Finally, a familiar face is linked to a familiar award. Mike Trout was named a 'dark horse' candidate for the MVP award this season, but with the numbers he has already put up, he is looking less like a dark horse and more like a potential leader in the race.
