The Angels are still operating with a four-man starting rotation, with their four true starters all beginning the second half of the season pretty so-so. Yusei Kikuchi and José Soriano have each made two starts apiece post All-Star break, and have a combined 5.28 FIP, 1.32 WHIP and 1.99 HR/9. Tyler Anderson and Kyle Hendricks are expectedly regressing, with both getting shelled by the Mets in their last starts, and they might even get traded due to their expiring contracts. Whether the Angels position themselves as buyers or sellers at the trade deadline in a few days, they will address their rotation in one way or another.
