TEMPE, Ariz. -- A six-man rotation has been mentioned as a possibility for the Angels for much of the offseason, and the idea received a level of confirmation Tuesday when pitchers and catchers reported to Tempe Diablo Stadium for the official start of Spring Training.
Manager Mike Scioscia said the Angels intend to use an expanded rotation in an effort to keep their starters healthy and smooth Shohei Ohtani's highly anticipated entry to the Majors this season.
"I think a lot of times it's hard to find that fourth or fifth starter in the rotation, but if everyone comes back and is healthy for us, we're going to have some exceptional depth," Scioscia said.
