• The starting line-up for the Mets is as follows:
• The starting line-up for the Angels is as follows:
• The status of Angels center fielder Mike Trout is uncertain for Los Angeles’ series opener against the New York Mets on Friday in Anaheim, Calif., but the Angels were breathing a sigh of relief for another reason Thursday night. They finally ended their franchise-record, 14-game losing streak, beating the visiting Boston Red Sox 5-2 to salvage the finale of a four-game series. The Angels won for the first time since beating the Texas Rangers 5-3 on May 24.
• Trout, a three-time American League MVP, has been out since straining his groin on Tuesday. He is listed as day-to-day, but that doesn’t ease the minds of those who follow the Angels closely. When Trout strained his right calf on May 17, 2021, the Angels announced he would miss six to eight weeks. Instead, Trout missed the rest of the season.
• The Angels promoted outfielder Dillon Thomas from Triple-A Salt Lake to provide some outfield depth, and he started in left field on Thursday,. Thomas, who was hitting .295 with eight homers and 39 RBIs in 48 games for the Bees, went 0-for-2 but drew a walk, was a hit by pitch and scored a run on Thursday.
• The Angels not only are shuffling their outfield heading into the Mets series, but they also are moving things around in their rotation. Michael Lorenzen and Patrick Sandoval, initially scheduled to start Friday and Saturday, respectively, were pushed back a day. Noah Syndergaard, scheduled for Sunday’s nationally televised game against his former team, instead was pushed back to Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
• That left Friday’s game open, and the club is expected to call up left-hander Jhonathan Diaz from Salt Lake to make the start. Diaz (1-0, 1.32 ERA) started two games for the Angels earlier this season and did not allow a run in either contest. He threw five scoreless innings against the Washington Nationals on May 6 and earned a victory. On May 14 against the Oakland A’s, he threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings. He also pitched in relief against the Yankees on June 2, giving up two runs in four innings. Diaz has not opposed the Mets in his two-year major league career.
• The Mets, coming off losing two of three to the host San Diego Padres, will get a boost on Friday with the return of Tylor Megill from the injured list. The right-hander has been out since May 12 due to right biceps inflammation. Megill (4-2, 4.41 ERA) made a rehab start for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday, allowing two runs and striking out five in 3 2/3 innings. Megill will be opposing the Angels for the first time in his career.
