Angels' Mike Trout: Back a 'non-issue'
Trout told Sam Blum of The Athletic on Friday that his back has been a "non-issue" for four months.
Trout missed time last season with a rare back condition called costovertebral dysfunction, which is a chronic injury. However, he showed no ill effects after returning, posting a 1.056 OPS with 16 home runs over 40 games down the stretch. The back problem remains a long-term concern and Trout has been an injury risk in recent years even beyond the back issue. However, it has not affected his offseason work and he's on track to enter spring training healthy.

Angels' Taylor Jones: Signs minors deal with Angels
Jones signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Thursday.
Jones owns a career .234/.260/.395 slash line in 43 MLB games, and at age 29, it's unlikely a significant step forward is on the horizon. He recorded a slightly above-average 108 wRC+ at the Triple-A level last season, so it's unlikely he plays a meaningful role for the Angels this year.

Angels' Jaime Barria: Avoids arbitration
Barria agreed to a one-year, $1.05 million contract with the Angels on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Barria made his big-league debut in 2018 and primarily worked as a starter when up with the Halos prior to 2022, but he established himself as a solid reliever last season with a 2.61 ERA across 79.1 innings. The 26-year-old should pitch out of the bullpen again in 2023 following his successful transition to relief.

Angels' Austin Warren: Outrighted to Triple-A
Warren cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake by the Angels on Friday.
Warren holds a 3.47 ERA over 30 appearances across the last two seasons for the Halos. He'll represent relief depth for them in the minors.

Angels' Patrick Sandoval: Inks one-year deal
Sandoval and the Angels agreed on a one-year, $2.75 million contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The 26-year-old started 27 games with Los Angeles in 2022, compiling a 2.91 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with 151 strikeouts over 148.2 innings. Sandoval will head into spring training locked into a mid-rotation role for the Halos.

Angels' Jared Walsh: Inks one-year deal
Walsh (shoulder) and the Angels agreed on a one-year, $2.65 million contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
The 29-year-old was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and underwent surgery in early September, but the condition isn't expected to impact his availability for 2023. Walsh produced a .215 average with 15 homers, 44 RBI, 41 runs and two stolen bases over 423 at-bats in 118 games last season.

Angels' Taylor Ward: Avoids arbitration
Ward and the Angels agreed on a one-year, $2.75 million contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
The 29-year-old had a career year in 2022, batting .281 with 23 homers, 65 RBI, 73 runs and five stolen bases over 495 at-bats in 135 games last season. Ward will head into 2023 as the Angels' starting left fielder and penciled into a prime spot in the batting order.

Angels' Griffin Canning: Avoids arbitration
Canninga (back) and the Angels agreed on a one-year, $850,000 contract Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Canning will avoid the arbitration process with the Angels after the two parties were able to strike a deal Friday. The right-hander missed the 2022 campaign while rehabbing a stress fracture in his lower back, and he'll have a shot at returning to the Angels' rotation in 2023. Canning owns a career 4.73 ERA over three seasons with Los Angeles.

Angels' Austin Warren: DFA'd by Halos
The Angels designated Warren for assignment on Monday.
Warren serves as the Angels' roster casualty after the club signed Brett Phillips to a one-year deal Monday. The 26-year-old reliever gave up 10 earned runs over 16 innings in the majors last season. Warren had better luck in Triple-A, however, recording an impressive 2.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through 34 frames. He's likely to catch on with another team searching for some depth in the back-end of their bullpen.

Angels' Brett Phillips: Signs with Halos
Phillips signed a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the Angels on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Despite slashing just .144/.217/.249 across 225 plate appearances last season, Phillips will join the Angels on a major-league deal. He has four of the five tools, with the hit tool being his major weakness, but Phillips' defense and intangibles earned him a spot on the Angels' bench to open the season.

Angels' Jose Godoy: Signed by Angels
Godoy signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Saturday.
A 28-year-old catcher who saw time in the majors in 2021 and 2022, Godoy projects as a third or fourth catcher on an organizational depth chart. He has a .123 average and 37.1 percent strikeout rate in 62 MLB plate appearances.

Angels' Cam Vieaux: Signs with Halos
Vieaux signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Saturday.
He elected free agency in October after the Pirates outrighted him off the 40-man roster twice. Vieaux, a 29-year-old lefty, had success as a reliever at Triple-A (3.06 ERA) but gave up 10 earned runs in 8.2 innings across eight MLB appearances in 2022.

Angels' Kevin Padlo: Signs minor-league deal
Padlo signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Padlo has seen brief action in the majors with four different teams over the last two seasons, going just 5-for-46 at the plate. The 26-year-old is capable of playing both corner infield spots as well as some second base and left field.

Angels' Oliver Ortega: DFA'd by Halos
Ortega was designated for assignment by the Angels on Thursday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Ortega had a 1.71 ERA across his first 15 appearances of 2022, but he had a 6.92 ERA in his next 12 outings and finished the campaign in the minors. The 26-year-old has now lost his spot on the 40-man roster, though he'll still likely report to big-league camp for spring training.

Barrera spent 2022 in the Athletics organization and was at the Triple-A level for most of the year, where he had a .263/.329/.436 slash line in 85 games. He also played in 32 games with the big club and had a .632 OPS. The 27-year-old should serve as organizational depth for the Angels.

Lamb signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Lamb spent time with the Mariners and Dodgers last year and slashed .216/.315/.392 with three homers, 13 runs and six RBI over 41 games. He'll have a chance to compete for a major-league roster spot as a non-roster invitee this spring.
