Overview

  • Rodríguez exited Saturday’s 8-6 loss after Randy Arozarena’s 98.1 mph one-hopper struck his right ankle while he attempted to steal third base.
  • X-rays were negative; the two-time All-Star was labeled day-to-day with a contusion and could return for Sunday’s series finale.
  • Leody Taveras committed two errors after replacing Rodríguez in center field, contributing to the Angels’ four-run third inning.
  • Jo Adell sparked Los Angeles’s comeback with two home runs and three RBIs, rallying from a 4-0 deficit.
  • Right-hander George Kirby, who avoided serious harm from a 102.7 mph comebacker in his last start, is set to pitch Sunday against Tyler Anderson.
