Player Outlook
Taylor Ward's 2023 campaign came to an early end in late July after he was struck in the face by a pitch, which caused multiple fractures that required surgery. It was awful luck for the outfielder but nonetheless marks the second time in the past three seasons he's failed to reach 100 games played. Ward was mostly healthy in 2022 and delivered 23 homers and an .833 OPS, which he was unable to replicate last year before suffering the facial injuries. Still, he had an above-average bat (107 wRC+) with 14 home runs, four steals, 47 RBI, 60 runs and a .253/.335/.421 slash line in 97 contests. Ward seems unlikely to return to that All-Star level of production from 2022 but can still provide value for fantasy managers with solid power and contact skills, though durability concerns cap his ceiling heading into 2024.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Clubs another long ball

    Rotowire
    Ward went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Monday's 7-3 win over the Rays. Ward launched his third homer of the last four games and extended his hit streak to eight consecutive games. The long ball plated Anthony Rendon in the ninth inning and gave closer Carlos Estevez four runs of cushion. Ward might be headed toward a breakout campaign, being tied for fourth in the majors in home runs (six) with an impressive .313/.333/.612 slash line through 16 games.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Continues hot start

    Rotowire
    Ward went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday in a loss to the Red Sox. Ward's long ball didn't make much of an impact on the outcome of the game, but it was another promising development in what is unfolding as a bounce-back campaign for the outfielder. Ward has gone deep in each of his past two contests and has five homers overall through 14 games, tied for sixth-most in the majors. He's also tied for fifth in the league with 16 RBI and is slashing .310/.333/.603 with 11 runs and a stolen base.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Continues hot start

    Rotowire
    Ward went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two total RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 victory over Miami. Ward wound up a triple shy of the cycle Wednesday -- he put the Angels ahead 1-0 with an RBI single in the first inning before smacking a solo homer off Kent Emanuel to cap the scoring in the eighth. The 30-year-old Ward now has hits in his last five games, going 8-for-21 (.381) with three homers and eight RBI in that span. Ward should continue to bat cleanup behind Mike Trout in Anaheim after he slashed .253/.335/.421 with 14 homers and 47 RBI in 97 games last year.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Pops second home run

    Rotowire
    Ward went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Orioles. Ward opened the scoring for the Angels on Sunday by crushing a 399-foot home run off Tyler Wells in the first inning. This was his second straight game with two-run homer after going hitless Opening Day. Ward is cemented firmly into the Angels lineup as the starting left fielder and cleanup hitter. He'll look to keep his hot start going in the team's next series against the Marlins in Miami for three games.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Clubs first homer

    Rotowire
    Ward went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 13-4 loss to the Orioles. The 30-year-old went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in the season opener but provided the Halos' lone offense through eight frames Saturday with a solo homer, and he also delivered an RBI single in the ninth. Ward has started in left field and batted cleanup in the first two games of the season, which puts him in a favorable position to rack up counting stats behind Mike Trout.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Faces live pitching

    Rotowire
    Ward faced live pitching Saturday for the first time since suffering multiple facial fractures when he was hit in the face by a pitch last July, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Ward underwent surgery last August after the hit-by-pitch to have three plates inserted as well as a full nose reconstruction. He was considered fully recovered by October, though, setting him up for a normal offseason. Ward slashed .253/.335/.421 with 14 home runs over 97 contests in 2023 before the season-ending injury. He's slated to be the Angels' regular left fielder in 2024.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Won't be held back this spring

    Rotowire
    Ward (face) will be ready to participate from Day 1 of spring training, Trent Rush of Angels Radio AM 830 reports. Ward underwent surgery last August as a result of suffering fractures to several bones in his face after being hit by a pitch in a game, but he appears to be fully recovered and good to go for the start of spring training. The outfielder recently won his arbitration case and is set to make $4.8 million this year as one of the more prominent bats in an Angels lineup that won't include Shohei Ohtani for the first time since 2017. Ward is lined up to the be team's starting left fielder and will look to build upon his shortened 2023 campaign, during which he slashed .253/.335/.421 with 14 home runs, 47 RBI, 60 runs and four stolen bases over 97 games.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Making $4.8 million

    Rotowire
    Ward (face) won his arbitration case against the Angels on Tuesday and will earn $4.8 million in 2024, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Ward will receive a decent pay bump in his second year of arbitration eligibility. The 30-year-old had a .253/.335/.421 slash line with 14 home runs last season, though he was hit in the face by a pitch in July and played in just 97 games. Ward underwent surgery in August to repair multiple facial fractures but shouldn't have any issues being ready for the start of the season.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Undergoes surgery

    Rotowire
    Ward underwent facial surgery Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Ward fractured several bones in his face when taking a pitch to the head in late July, and he underwent procedures on both his left orbital bone and nose Friday. It's unclear exactly how long Ward will need to recover, but he is not eligible to be activated from the injured list until late September, so he will not be back on the field anytime soon.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Shifts to 60-day IL

    Rotowire
    Ward (face) was moved to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. Ward was hit in the head by a pitch Saturday against the Blue Jays and was diagnosed with multiple facial fractures. After landing on the 10-day injured list Sunday, he'll shift to the 60-day IL later in the day to make room on the 40-man roster for new acquisitions C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk. Sunday's move means that Ward will be sidelined until at least late September.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Heads to IL with facial fractures

    Rotowire
    The Angels placed Ward on the 10-day injured list Sunday after he was diagnosed with multiple facial fractures. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Ward has been released from the hospital after he was struck in the side of the face by a pitch in the fifth inning of Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays. Manager Phil Nevin is expected to provide an update on Ward's condition later Wednesday, but based on the initial diagnosis, the 29-year-old can be expected to miss well beyond the minimum 10 days. The Angels selected the contract of infielder Kevin Padlo from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Ward on the 26-man active roster.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Hit in head by pitch

    Rotowire
    Ward exited Saturday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit by a pitch in the head, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. He was sitting up in the cart as he got a standing ovation from the crowd and had a visibly swollen left eye after getting hit by a pitch thrown by Alek Manoah. Ward will presumably be checked for a concussion, and the team will update his status. He hit .327 with five home runs in his most recent 13 games entering play Saturday.

    Rotowire
    Ward went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Plates three runs in victory

    Rotowire
    Ward went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two total runs and three total RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win against the Yankees. Ward accounted for two of the Angels' three extra-base hits in the contest, swatting a two-run homer in the first inning and belting an RBI ground-rule double in the eighth. It was his third multi-hit performance in six games since the All-Star break, though he went a combined 1-for-11 in the other three contests. Ward has been a slight disappointment this season following last year's breakthrough campaign, but he's still managed decent production with a .248/.327/.400 slash line, 11 homers, 17 doubles, 38 RBI, 53 runs and three steals through 89 games.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Smacks 10th homer

    Rotowire
    Ward went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 loss to Houston. Ward continues his hot streak, as he's currently hitting .304 in the month of July. While his slash line this season doesn't jump off the page (.245/.387/.706), the outfielder is trending in the right direction after a dismal start to the campaign.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: In action Friday

    Rotowire
    Ward (groin) is hitting third and starting in left field Friday against the Astros. He was held out before the All-Star break due to a minor groin injury, but a week off was all he needed. Ward should continue to hit in a prominent lineup spot while Mike Trout (wrist), Anthony Rendon (shin) and Brandon Drury (shoulder) are all on the injured list.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: Bothered by groin injury

    Rotowire
    Ward was held out of Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers due to lingering groin discomfort, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Ward was held out of the starting lineup Wednesday due to discomfort in his groin. He returned Friday but then had the issue flare back up one day later. When discussing Ward's health after Saturday's game, manager Phil Nevin was non-committal in his update, stating that Ward was available "to a point" but that he wanted to be cautious. The injury doesn't sound likely to linger into the second half of the season, but it will remain worth monitoring.

  • Angels' Taylor Ward: On bench Saturday

    Rotowire
    Ward will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Ward finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. The Angels don't play Sunday, so barring an appearance off the bench, he'll end the first half with a .243/.318/.377 slash line, a significant step back from the .281/.360/.473 line he managed last season. Jo Adell will again take over in left field.
