All the storylines you need to know going into the Angels' series opener against the Mariners, including a veteran pitcher designated for assignment and the major league debut of Sam Aldegheri.
The Angels will send Sam Aldegheri to the mound for his major league debut Friday against the Seattle Mariners. Here's how they will line up behind him:In order to make room for Aldegheri and Caden Dana on the roster, the Angels designated Johnny Cueto for assignment. The veteran right-hander made just two starts after his promotion from Triple-A Salt Lake, going 0-2 with a 7.15 ERA.
The Angels also transferred José Marte to the 60-day injured list and placed right-hander Carson Fulmer on the 15-day injured list. The Angels just ended a seven-game losing streak Thursday in Detroit, while Seattle is clawing for a playoff berth and could capitalize on the road-weary Angels. Aldegheri could put the pressure on the bats to keep pace if he stumbles early in the game. The Mariners' George Kirby, with a 9-10 record and a 3.48 ERA, aims to return to form after some recent shaky outings. Expect a high-scoring affair if Kirby's struggles continue.
• Nolan Schanuel has reached base safely in 13 straight games, which is the fourth-longest active A.L. streak. • Taylor Ward enters play with a nine-game hit streak, which is his longest since a nine game stretch from Sept. 14-23, 2022.J.P.
