dailyloe.com – On April 27, 2026, the Los Angeles Angels will face the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series. Both teams are looking to recover after losing their recent weekend series. The Angels, currently 12-17 and third in the AL West, are struggling with their performance.
The Angels have lost seven of their last eight games, including three consecutive series. Their recent series sweep loss to the Royals highlighted significant issues, particularly with their bullpen. The Angels’ bullpen failed to secure leads in crucial moments, as evidenced by their inability to protect a three-run lead and a subsequent one-run lead in extra innings.
In an effort to improve, the Angels designated Jordan Romano for assignment and released Shaun Anderson. The team’s starting pitchers also struggled, with none reaching the sixth inning against the Royals, each allowing at least three earned runs. Despite a total of 16 hits in their last game, the Angels could not capitalize on scoring opportunities.
The Angels experienced a setback when catcher Logan O’Hoppe sustained a left wrist injury and was placed on the 10-day injured list. Sebastián Rivero was called up to serve as backup for Travis d’Arnaud. The Angels will start right-handers Jack Kochanowicz and Josè Soriano in the series against the White Sox on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
Soriano has had a strong start to the season, making history in various categories. The Angels hope to turn their fortunes around as they begin this crucial series in Chicago.
