Which MLB teams should sell at the trade deadline?

Rotoworld Player News

Adam Cimber

LAA Relief Pitcher #90

Angels re-signed RHP Adam Cimber to a minor league contract.

The 33-year-old right-hander was released by the Angels in late July after he passed through waivers unclaimed. After exploring the free agent market for a couple of weeks though, Cimber decided that his best opportunity was to remain with the Angels, even on a minor league pact. He’ll report to Triple-A Salt Lake until another opportunity opens in the Halos’ bullpen.
Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9

Zach Neto tripled, walked and stole his 20th base of the season in the Angels’ 3-2 win over the Mets on Sunday.

Neto, who has almost exclusively hit in the bottom half of the Angels lineup this season, was in the second spot for the second straight game today. Hopefully, Ron Washington will keep him there, since he’s definitely one of the Angels’ hitters worthy of the most at-bats. He’s at .303/.411/.500 over the last 30 days and .256/.320/.439 on the season.
Griffin Canning

LAA Starting Pitcher #47

Griffin Canning defeated the Mets by allowing two runs — one earned — in five innings Sunday.

Canning fanned eight batters, topping his season high by two. He also managed to avoid giving up a homer for the first time in 10 starts. The win was his first since June 24, and he moved to 4-10 with a 5.10 ERA overall.
Roansy Contreras

LAA Relief Pitcher #57

Roansy Contreras tossed a scoreless ninth with a one-run lead for a save Sunday against the Mets.

Contreras has a nice 1.75 ERA and a 12/2 K/BB ratio in 10 1/3 innings since moving to the bullpen last month. Hopefully, Ben Joyce will get most of the Angels’ save chances after his showing last night. Contreras, though, will be in the mix when Joyce is unavailable.
Ben Joyce

LAA Relief Pitcher #44

Ben Joyce picked up a save while working 1 1/3 scoreless innings against the Mets on Saturday.

Congrats to Joyce — and fantasy managers — on his first MLB save. The hard-throwing 23-year-old didn’t allow a hit while getting four outs while picking up a strikeout and throwing 13-of-15 pitches for strikes. On that final pitch, he hit 104.7 mph on the radar gun. Joyce has the potential to be a fantasy star, and this scoreless work lowers his ERA to just 1.82. He may not see a ton of saves for the rest of the year for reasons beyond his control, however, which is very frustrating.
Jose Soriano

LAA Relief Pitcher #59

Jose Soriano didn’t factor into the decision Saturday despite allowing no runs in six innings against the Mets.

The bullpen was unkind to Soriano, but so was the offense as they scored just two runs in the game. He left with a 2-0 lead, but the Mets scored four an inning later. The Angels ended up winning, but because baseball is a really fair game and the win-loss stat is flawless, Soriano gets no credit for it. Still, a very impressive outing for Soriano that lowers his ERA in 2024 to 3.47. Next up is a start against the Nationals over the weekend.
Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9

Zach Neto hit a three-run homer to help the Angels to a 5-4 win over the Mets on Saturday.

Neto came up to bat in the seventh inning with the Angels trailing 4-2, and he changed that score to 5-4 Angels with a three-run blast off Huascar Brazoban. Neto has had a solid season in 2024, as the 23-year-old has gone deep 14 times while driving in 51 runs, and a three-reach game Saturday sees his slash improve to .255/.318/.434. Neto is pretty good now, but there’s reason to believe he hasn’t come close to reaching his potential.
Charles Leblanc

LAA Shortstop #62

Angels selected the contract of INF Charles LeBlanc from Triple-A Salt Lake.

The 28-year-old infielder has spent the entire season thus far at Triple-A Salt Lake, hitting .262/.382/.472 with 12 homers, 48 RBI and four stolen bases in 343 plate appearances. He’ll add infield depth for the Halos with Luis Rengifo (wrist) heading to the injured list.
Luis Rengifo

LAA Shortstop #2

Angels placed INF Luis Rengifo on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation.

Well, so much for him being active on Saturday. Rengifo has been battling the wrist issue for weeks now, so it makes sense that they’ll try to sit him down for a while and get it right. It puts fantasy managers in a tough spot though as he’ll tie up a roster spot with zero production for at least the next two weeks. Charles LeBlanc was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move on Saturday.
Luis Rengifo

LAA Shortstop #2

Luis Rengifo (wrist) is not in the Angels’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Mets.

The good news is that the versatile 27-year-old will be active for the game and available off the bench, so he won’t be landing on the injured list — as least as of yet. Michael Stefanic will start in his place at second base and will bat ninth against David Peterson and the Mets on Saturday evening in Los Angeles.
