ANAHEIM - Fans who came to Angel Stadium this weekend hoping to see the high-scoring team that blitzed through an eight-game winning streak were disappointed. After the Angels extended their streak with a victory in the series opener, the hitters barely made a peep in a 3-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Sunday afternoon. The Angels (25-27) averaged 7.6 runs during their eight-game winning streak, including 23 runs during an unlikely three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium a week earlier.

TEMPE, Ariz. - The annual saga of Anthony Rendon's health began before Rendon even arrived at camp this year. Rendon will undergo surgery on his left hip, which will make him unavailable for a significant amount of time, general manager Perry Minasian said Wednesday, the day Angels pitchers and catchers held their first workout of the spring. "He brought up that he's had some difficulty with his rehab the last couple weeks," Minasian said.

After losing by nine runs in Game 1, the Mets jump to a quick six-run lead and hold on for a 7-3 victory in Game 2. It’s no surprise from a team that was under .500 in June, but finished the season by going on a three-month tear.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Jake Marisnick is in a familiar position. The outfielder has more than nine years of major league service time, but this is the third straight season in which he’s been in spring training on a minor-league deal, fighting for a job. The last two times — with the Texas Rangers in 2022 and the Chicago White Sox in 2023 — he didn’t make it. Even though he started in the minors, he clawed his way back to the majors, adding new teams to his collection.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Zach Plesac is trying to get back his old self, with a new repertoire. Plesac spent part of his winter remaking himself at Driveline, the high-tech baseball training center. Plesac, 29, said he’s replaced his four-seam fastball with a two-seamer, and he’s changed his slider into more of a sweeper, which he hopes will help induce more swings and misses. If it works, the Angels could get a steal for the $1 million, one-year deal they gave Plesac last month.
