That's the Angels' bigger problem on Saturday: the IL list reads like a 40-man roster. Grayson Rodriguez left his last start with lower-back tightness and is on the 15-day. Jorge Soler (oblique), Vaughn Grissom (oblique), Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) and Travis d'Arnaud (foot) are all parked. Anthony Rendon and Yoán Moncada are season-long ghosts. Jack Kochanowicz is headed for Tommy John. There is no cavalry.
The A's have their own holes, and the one that matters most is Brent Rooker. Their middle-of-the-order DH is on the 10-day with a bone bruise in his left knee, which has shifted more of the run-production burden onto Tyler Soderstrom and Lawrence Butler. Both have been carrying — Soderstrom dropped a go-ahead double in last week's win over Colorado, Butler scored the deciding run in the series opener — but losing Rooker thins the lineup in any spot where you'd expect a 3-run swing. Luis Severino is still weeks away with a shoulder capsule strain, and Aaron Civale was just being plugged back in mid-week.
The split-the-series read makes sense here. The Angels are 3-2 in their last 5 with a pair of shutout wins in the mix; the A's are 3-2 with a 23-9 nightmare loss to Colorado mixed into otherwise tidy ball. Sacramento has played to a small home edge in 2026 but isn't the fortress Oakland used to be, and an Angels team that just hung 8-0 and 7-0 in back-to-back wins is a poor opponent to take lightly. The series opener Friday will tell us how much of this preview ages well; either way, Saturday is a game both clubs need.
