Kevin Newman

Anderson won a spot on the Opening Day roster after hitting .250/.297/.317 with one home run and three steals. With Zach Neto (shoulder) starting the year on the IL, Kevin Newman will be the starting shortstop with Anderson filling in at second base. The Angels' full lineup is: Taylor Ward, LF, Nolan Schanuel 1B, Mike Trout RF, Jorge Soler DH, Tim Anderson 2B, Luis Rengifo 3B, Logan O'Hoppe C, Jo Adell CF, Kevin Newman SS.

Moncada was scratched from Friday's lineup with a sore thumb, but Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher reports that it's worse than initially thought and the third baseman could miss Opening Day. If the 29-year-old third baseman is out, it would open the door for Tim Anderson to play second base with Kevin Newman at shortstop and Luis Rengifo at third base.

Baby steps. Neto has already been ruled out for Opening Day as he recovers from November shoulder surgery. Angels manager Ron Washington has said the 24-year-old shortstop should debut sometime in April and there's no reason to adjust that timeline yet. Kevin Newman and Tim Anderson are the leaders in the clubhouse to fill in for the Angels at shortstop until Neto is ready. Neto is still the only Angels shortstop with fantasy value, though managers that select him will need a replacement for at least the first few weeks of the season.

On the plus side, Wacha punched out four batters on the day while issuing only one base on balls. The 33-year-old hurler navigated a scoreless first inning, but the Halos tacked on runs against him in every other frame including a two-run double by Kevin Newman in the second and a two-run blast by Jorge Soler in the third. Wacha hasn't had much fun in Cactus League action, compiling a 12.38 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 10/3 K/BB ratio over eight innings. He's not getting much respect from fantasy managers, with an average draft position sitting just inside the top 300 picks overall.
