Getting first-base reps Ward got an "extensive" workout at first base Sunday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times of reports.
Impact Ward has spent most of his time in the outfield this season, but the Angels may be looking to try him out at first base more often given Albert Pujols' slow start and the team's lack of depth at the position. Pujols has been out of the starting lineup each of the previous two games for the Halos, with Tommy La Stella -- who typically starts at second base -- taking over at first. Ward could benefit from any decrease in Pujols' playing time, though the former has had his own struggles this season, slashing a meek .147/.216/.206.

Makes case for roster spot Hermosillo is a strong contender for one of the Angels' final roster spots, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact While the team has yet to make a decision on who will fill the extra-outfielder role, Hermosillo appears to have the edge due to a strong spring in which he hit .450 with two home runs, seven RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Among his contenders for a roster spot, Luis Rengifo batted .240 and Taylor Ward hit .308 in Cactus League play.
