Angles in the Outfield

This weekend's series marks the Angles's first visit to D.C. since a two-game series from Aug. 15-16, 2017. Last year, the Angels won two of three games against the Nats from April 10-12, 2023 at Angel Stadium. The series will also be the first visit back to Washington for Anthony Rendon since he signed with the Angels on Dec. 13, 2019.

Rendon played his first seven Major League seasons with the Nationals (2013-19) and was a 2019 World Series Championship team member.
