KEY GAME INFORMATION
LA ANGELS: 2016: 74-88, fourth place
Manager: Mike Scioscia (18th season)
Who's new? C Martin Maldonado, 2B Danny Espinosa, INF Luis Valbuena, OF Ben Revere, OF Cameron Maybin, RHP Jesse Chavez, RHP Austin Adams, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Who's gone? C Jett Bandy, C Geovany Soto, C Juan Graterol, OF Gregorio Petit, OF Rafael Ortega, RHP Jered Weaver, LHP C.J. Wilson, RHP Jhoulys Chacin, RHP Tim Lincecum, RHP Cory Rasmus, LHP Brett Oberholtzer
Projected lineup: 3B Yunel Escobar (.304, 5 HR, 39 RBI), RF Kole Calhoun (.271, 18, 75), CF Mike Trout (.315, 29, 100, 30 SB), DH Albert Pujols (.268, 31, 119), 1B C.J. Cron (.278, 16, 69) or Luis Valbuena (.260, 13, 40 in 90 games with Astros), LF Cameron Maybin (.315, 4, 43, 15 SB with Tigers), 2B Danny Espinosa (.209, 24, 72 with Nationals), SS Andrelton Simmons (.281, 4, 44, 10 in 124 games), C Martin Maldonado (.202, 8, 21 with Brewers) or Carlos Perez (.209, 5, 31)
Rotation: RH Garrett Richards (1-3, 2.34 in six starts), RH Matt Shoemaker (9-13, 3.88), LH Tyler Skaggs (3-4, 4.17), RH Ricky Nolasco (8-14, 4.42 with Twins and Angels), RH Jesse Chavez (2-2, 4.43 with Blue Jays and Dodgers) or RH Bud Norris (6-10, 5.10 for Braves and Dodgers)
Key relievers: RH Huston Street (3-2, 6.45, 9/12 SV), RH Cam Bedrosian (2-0, 1.12), RH Andrew Bailey (3-1, 5.36 6/7 SV for Phillies and Angels), RH J.C. Ramirez (2-1, 2.91), LH Jose Alvarez (1-3, 3.45), RH Austin Adams (0-0, 9.82 with Indians), RH Yusmeiro Petit (3-5, 4.30 with Nationals), RH Mike Morin (2-2, 4.37)
Hot spots: First base and fifth starter. Pujols started 23 games at first base last year, and will likely play fewer this year after offseason plantar fascia surgery. For now, Pujols is the primary DH, Cron is the first baseman, and Valbuena will begin the season on the DL with a strained hamstring. One problem: neither Cron (.698 OPS) nor Valbuena (.666) could hit lefties last year. The top candidates for fifth starter are similarly flawed. Chavez and Norris finished last season as relievers. Alex Meyer has six major league starts to his name. The Angels might need all of them at points in 2017.
Outlook: It's hard to be too optimistic about a team that's made one playoff appearance in seven years. Yet it's hard to be too pessimistic considering the hard-luck injuries that decimated the Angels in 2016, particularly on the pitching side. Still, 2017 figures to be a transition year. The back of the rotation is a patch job until Tommy John patients Andrew Heaney and Nick Tropeano return from rehab. The Angels will gain some financial freedom after the season, when Josh Hamilton finally comes off the books. Any positive momentum in the meantime would make Anaheim a more attractive destination for free agents. Getting back above .500 would be a realistic step in that direction; anything beyond that is a bonus
WASHINGTON:
Manager: Dusty Baker (second season)
Who's new? CF Adam Eaton, C Matt Wieters, 1B Adam Lind, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Joe Blanton
Who's gone? CF Ben Revere, C Wilson Ramos, RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Mat Latos, LHP Sean Burnett, RHP Mark Melancon, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Projected lineup: CF Adam Eaton (.284, 14 HR, 59 RBI, 14 SB with White Sox), SS Trea Turner (.342, 13, 40, 33), 2B Daniel Murphy (.347, 25, 104), RF Bryce Harper (.243, 24, 86, 21 SB), 3B Anthony Rendon (.270, 20, 85), LF Jayson Werth (.244, 21, 69), 1B Ryan Zimmerman (.218, 15, 46) or Adam Lind (.239, 20, 58 with Mariners), C Matt Wieters (.243, 17, 66 with Orioles)
Rotation: RH Max Scherzer (20-7, 2.96 ERA), RH Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83), LH Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57), RH Stephen Strasburg (15-4, 3.60), RH Joe Ross (7-5, 3.43)
Key relievers: RH Shawn Kelley (3-2, 2.64), RH Joe Blanton (7-2, 2.48), RH Blake Treinen (4-1, 2.28), LH Sammy Solis (2-4, 2.41), RH Trevor Gott (0-0, 1.50), LH Oliver Perez (2-3, 4.95), LH Enny Romero (2-0, 5.91 with Rays)
Hot spots: First base and closer. Zimmerman posted a career-low .642 OPS last season and was often spelled by left-handed hitter Clint Robinson. Now 32, Zimmerman must prove he's worthy of regular playing time. Robinson and free-agent pickup Lind are next in line. The ninth inning could be a committee job too, though it's never been the Nationals' preferred method. After Kenley Jansen spurned D.C. for less money in L.A., their choices were limited. Kelley and Blanton have never closed in a combined 20 seasons in the majors, but both were stalwart set-up men last season. Joe Nathan and his 377 career saves are also in camp on a minor-league deal.
Outlook: Trading former top prospect Lucas Giolito to the White Sox for Eaton signaled the Nationals' championship ambitions. Their five-game loss to the Dodgers last October marked the third time in five years they've fallen just short of the NLCS. Washington begins the season with some familiar weapons ' a dangerous heart of the lineup, an experienced bench and exceptional starting pitching. Eaton is a huge upgrade over Revere at the plate, but Wieters will be pressed to replace Ramos' 3.5 wins above replacement (via FanGraphs). Failing to sign a marquee closer could prove fatal if Kelley, Nathan or someone else can't hold down the ninth inning.
PREVIEW
Roark, Nolasco meet as Angels, Nats finish series
 

WASHINGTON -- When Los Angeles Angels rookie pitcher Parker Bridwell, 26, made the move from the bullpen to the rotation this year, one of the veteran teammates he spoke to was Ricky Nolasco, 34.

"I asked him certain things about his routine, and I also watched him throw," said Bridwell, who broke into the majors with two games out of the bullpen for the Baltimore Orioles in 2016.

While Bridwell has been a surprise at 7-1 this year, Nolasco has struggled. He enters his start on Wednesday afternoon against the first-place Washington Nationals (71-46) having allowed five runs or more in four of his past seven outings.

Nolasco (5-12, 5.24 ERA) will oppose Washington right-hander Tanner Roark (9-7, 4.74), who has not faced the Angels since 2014.

The Nationals won 3-1 Tuesday as the Angels didn't get a hit until the sixth inning.

"Tomorrow we have to pick it up and start momentum early," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Tuesday.

Nolasco will be making his first start against the Nationals since July 19, 2013, seeking his first win against Washington since Sept. 9, 2012. The California native is 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in eight games (all starts) in his career at Washington and 11-7 with a 3.65 ERA in 23 games overall, including 21 starts, against the Nationals.

Roark, in his only appearance against the Angels, did not figure in a decision three years ago as he went 6 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed seven hits.

Current Angels are hitting 9-for-45 (.200) against Roark.

Andrelton Simmons, a former member of the Atlanta Braves, has the most at-bats of any Angels player against him and is 2-for-17 (.118). Mike Trout is 1-for-3, Albert Pujols is 0-for-3, and former Washington outfielder Ben Revere is 1-for-9 against his former teammate.

The last time Pujols played a series in Washington was when he hit homer No. 500 of his career against Taylor Jordan of the Nationals in 2014. Playing first base Monday with no designated hitter in effect, he made an error and went 0-for-2 with two walks.

When the Angels and Nationals met last month in California, Trout and Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper, both former Most Valuable Players, each hit a homer in the first inning of a game. However, the current series is missing Harper.

The Nationals' Opening Day outfield is now on the disabled list: center fielder Adam Eaton (went on the DL on April 29 with a left knee strain), left fielder Jayson Werth (June 5 with a left foot contusion), and Harper (Sunday with a hyperextended left knee).

The Nationals have used 12 outfielders this year.

"It has been a tough year injury-wise. At least we have guys to replace them. They have been carrying most of the weight," Washington manager Dusty Baker said, referring to first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (27 homers) and Daniel Murphy (20).

Zimmerman is 14-for-53 (.264) with three homers against Nolasco.

Center fielder Michael A. Taylor returned to the Nationals on Sunday as Harper went on the DL.

"We have to hold onto until the rosters expand. I am glad he is back," Baker said of Taylor. "He is going to get better and better."

The Angels (61-59) have a mediocre record, but they hold a half-game lead for the second American League wild card.

"We are still right there," Revere said. "It has been a crazy year."
