Angels Prepare for Outfield Shakeup as Mike Trout Moves to Right Field

Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak lead the competition for center field as the Angels prioritize Trout's health and longevity.

The Los Angeles Angels have shifted Mike Trout to right field for the 2025 season to help preserve his health after years of injuries.
Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak are the primary contenders for the center field role, with Adell showcasing significant defensive improvement last season.
Adell, a Gold Glove finalist in 2024, is adapting to center field, a position he played earlier in his career, and is confident in his ability to handle the transition.
Manager Ron Washington emphasized the need for improved communication among outfielders to prevent collisions, especially with Trout in his new role.
The Angels are also considering other players, including Luis Rengifo and Tim Anderson, for center field during spring training as part of their evaluation process.
