Luis Guillorme is in the Angels lineup on Sunday against the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact: Guillorme gets the start at the hot corner and at the bottom of the lineup for the Angels. He is 12-for-48 on the season with four RBI.

Kevin Pillar is in the Angels lineup on Sunday against the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact: Pillar is back in left and batting cleanup in the series finale. He is hitting .333 on the season with five home runs and 21 RBI.

Jose Soriano racked up eight strikeouts but allowed four earned runs over six innings as the Angels fell 4-3 to the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact: His performance was a mixed bag, showcasing his ability to miss bats but also surrendering enough offense to take the loss. This outing bumps his ERA up slightly to 3.61 and his WHIP to 1.18, reflecting a season that has been generally solid but occasionally marred by games like this. Soriano's high strikeout rate continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues that reward strikeouts, but his susceptibility to the occasional rough outing can be a concern. Moving forward, fantasy managers should consider him a decent option, particularly in formats that heavily favor strikeouts, but may want to be cautious in matchups against high-scoring teams.

Taylor Ward went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Angels' 4-3 loss to the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact: While the Angels couldn't secure the win, Ward's performance was a silver lining as he contributed significantly with his 11th homer of the season. This outing continues a solid season for Ward, who now boasts a .271 batting average and 32 RBI through 51 games. His power numbers are encouraging, especially in deeper fantasy leagues where home runs and RBI are gold. However, his high strikeout rate remains a concern for batting average stability. Fantasy managers should continue to ride Ward's power streak, but be wary of potential slumps due to his strikeout tendencies.

Fantasy Impact: Zuniga made four appearances in the majors so far this season. He will be ready to be called up when/if needed.

Patrick Sandoval struggled mightily in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Guardians, allowing eight earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over just 3 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact: This performance continues a concerning trend for Sandoval, whose season ERA ballooned to 5.60 and WHIP worsened to 1.55. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.4 K/9, his high BABIP of .350 and escalating ERA suggest that hitters are consistently making solid contact against him. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Sandoval in their starting rotations, as his high ERA and WHIP are likely to be a drag on those categories. His ability to strike out batters remains a small silver lining, but it's overshadowed by his overall ineffectiveness this season.

Luis Rengifo went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and one RBI in the Angels' 10-4 defeat to the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact: Rengifo's performance was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing game for the Angels. His season batting average now sits impressively at .322, and he continues to be a reliable source of hits and occasional power, with four homers and eight doubles on the season. While the Angels struggled in this matchup, Rengifo's fantasy managers should feel encouraged by his consistent production and multi-category contributions, especially considering his ability to add value with his speed on the bases.

Jo Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Angels' 10-4 defeat to the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact: While the Angels struggled overall, Adell's power stroke was a bright spot, contributing his tenth homer of the season. Despite a modest .234 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 0.257, Adell's ability to add power and speed (10 HRs, 8 SBs) keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats. His .342 wOBA indicates a solid offensive contribution when he does connect, but his low .241 BABIP suggests some bad luck with balls in play, hinting at potential for improvement as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should monitor his strikeout and walk rates closely, as improvements there could lead to more consistent production.

Luis Garcia delivered a flawless inning, striking out two and securing the save in the Angels' narrow 2-1 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: This performance was a bright spot in what has been a rocky season for Garcia, whose ERA of 5.06 and WHIP of 1.17 prior to this game have been sources of frustration for fantasy managers. However, his solid outing today, marked by efficiency and control, could hint at a turning point.

Tyler Anderson delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out four over eight innings in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a testament to Anderson's ability to manage games effectively, even if his strikeout numbers aren't dazzling. His season ERA now impressively stands at 2.52, complemented by a solid 1.06 WHIP, though his low strikeout rate (6.16 K/9) and high FIP (4.62) suggest some vulnerability. Fantasy managers should value his ability to consistently limit runs and maintain a good WHIP, but be wary of the potential for regression, especially given his unusually low BABIP (.209). Anderson remains a reliable option, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice in favorable matchups.

Mickey Moniak is in the Angels lineup on Wednesday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: Moniak is back in center field for the Angels. He is hitting .189 on the season with two home runs.

Griffin Canning delivered a mediocre performance in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out only two over five innings.

Fantasy Impact: While not a particularly dominant performance from Canning, this outing continues a solid month of pitching for the righty, as he's logged at least five frames while giving up two runs or less in each of his last four starts. After struggling over the first month of the campaign, Canning has turned in a 1.99 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 22 2/3 innings in May. It'd be to see him getting him more strikeouts (16.5 K%), but Canning is back on the fantasy radar for deeper leagues.
