Taylor Ward News
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward continued his hot offensive start in Monday's 7-3 win over the Rays. Ward went 2-for-5 with a single, a two-run home run, and two strikeouts. The 30-year-old now owns a .313/.333/.612 slash line with six HR, 13 runs scored, and an impressive 19 RBI in 69 plate appearances. He is rostered in 78% of leagues, so Ward could still be available in leagues where fantasy managers are looking for a hot bat.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward smacked his third home run of the season on Wednesday in a 10-2 thrashing of the Marlins. Ward also had a double in the contest, finishing 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored. He's now 8-for-25 (.320) on the young season with two doubles, three home runs, eight RBI, and six runs scored. The 30-year-old is shaping up to be a value after having an ADP beyond pick 200 in fantasy drafts. He missed extended time last season due to injury, but in 2022 he hit .281-23-65-73-5 with a .362 wOBA and 137 wRC+ over 135 games. Those numbers seem well within reach in 2024 while hitting cleanup in an Angels lineup that may not be quite as offensively challenged as anticipated.
Los Angeles outfielder Taylor Ward went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 spring loss to the Chicago Cubs. Ward took Keegan Thompson deep in the bottom of the sixth inning for his first home run of spring training. The 30-year-old has had a solid spring, slashing .286/.375/.457 with a home run, six RBI, and five runs scored over 14 games during spring training. His 2023 season ended prematurely. Ward suffered multiple facial fractures after being hit by a pitch in the face against the Blue Jays in July. He is slated to be the Angels' starting left fielder and is projected to hit fifth in the team's lineup. Ward has an NFBC ADP of 221 in March and has a chance to pop 20-plus homers in 2024, making him a solid pick at his current price tag in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward has been a solid contributor over the last three seasons but has only played over 100 games once in that span. Ward had a .281/.360/.473 slash line in 2022 when he played 135 games. That season, he had 22 doubles and 23 home runs. In 2023, the 30-year-old took a bit of a step back and was injured in the final months after being hit in the face. He would end the season with 18 doubles and 14 home runs in 97 games. Ward does have some platoon splits, hitting much better against lefties last season, but he may be in line to start the season in a full-time role in 2024. The California native had a .234/.322/.383 slash line against righties in 2023 but hit nine of his home runs against pitchers of that side. His ADP of 286.3 is well off from his RotoBaller rank of 188, so you may be able to get a deal during draft day. Depending on his place in the reshaped Angels order, he could either contribute in runs or RBI, but the other one may be lacking, thus making him a two-category contributor.
