Jared Walsh - Begins taking swingsWalsh (head) has been taking swings with the Angels' Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake City, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
ImpactWalsh went on the IL just before Opening Day due to bouts of headaches and insomnia, but he appears to be feeling well enough now to swing a bat. While manager Phil Nevin indicated Sunday that Walsh remains without a timetable for a return, it's at least a positive sign that the first baseman has been making progress. He's expected to reclaim a starting role whenever he's able to take the field again.

Carlos Estévez - Fans side in first 2023 outingEstevez tossed a scoreless inning against Oakland on Sunday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three batters.
ImpactEstevez opened spring training as the possible favorite for closing opportunities this season, but he struggled mightily in Cactus League play to throw that scenario into question. The right-hander made his regular-season Angels debut Sunday, taking over in the ninth inning with Los Angeles staked to a 6-0 lead. There was both good and bad in Estevez's appearance -- he allowed back-to-back two-out baserunners but kept Oakland off the scoreboard and recorded all three outs via strikeout. It remains to be seen how manager Phil Nevin will eventually manage save situations, but Estevez should at least be among the top options to close when opportunities arise.

Logan O'Hoppe - Belts first big-league homerO'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-0 victory against Oakland on Sunday.
ImpactO'Hoppe broke a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth inning with a 391-foot, three-run shot off Ken Waldichuk. The blast was his first long ball as a big-leaguer, and it extended his streak of games to begin the season with at least one RBI to three. The rookie catcher was originally slated to begin the campaign in the minors, but Max Stassi's hip injury and consequent placement on the IL has resulted in O'Hoppe starting all three games for the Angels so far. He's seized the opportunity, going 4-for-10 with six RBI through 11 plate appearances.
