ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2014 The Angels are looking for another way that Christian Moore could help them in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

Drafted as a second baseman, Moore made his professional debut in left field in Triple-A on Thursday night. Moore, the Angels\u2019 first-round draft pick in 2024, has also been playing third base this season.<\/p>\n

Joey Prebynski, the Angels\u2019 assistant general manager in charge of player development, said they started having Moore work out in left field a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been encouraged with how he looks,\u201d Prebysnki said. \u201cChristian is a good athlete. He\u2019s a good mover. For us, it\u2019s just about continuing to get him reps out there, seeing balls off the bat in left field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prebynski said Moore will continue to play left field, but he\u2019ll also play second and third.<\/p>\n

Left field has obviously been a problem for the Angels all season. Josh Lowe started the season as the primary left fielder, but he was sent to Triple-A with a .184 batting average.<\/p>\n

Moore, 23, had his own struggles in the majors last season and in spring training, which is why he started the season in the minors. Moore was hitting .182 through his first 17 games at Triple-A, although he was drawing plenty of walks. Since then, though, he\u2019s hit .380 with an OPS of 1.077 in his last 17 games.<\/p>\n

Prebysnki, not surprisingly, would not predict how much longer Moore will be in the minors.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The Angels have had opportunities in the past couple of weeks to call up Moore or Denzer Guzman because of injuries to Yo\u00e1n Moncada and Nolan Schanuel. They are more likely to bring Moore or Guzman when they believe there is at least a month of everyday playing time for them.<\/p>\n

Guzman, 22, has been playing shortstop and third at Triple-A.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s hitting .328 with 10 home runs and a .952 OPS. His 20% strikeout rate is an improvement on his 25% rate in the minors last season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Guzy, he\u2019s always shown a combination of plate discipline and quality contact with damage to all fields,\u201d Prebynski said. \u201cThe biggest thing with Denzer this year is just how he\u2019s been able to create a consistent setup and load, which has led to improved timing and swing decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

FIGURED IT OUT?<\/h4>\n

Left-hander Drew Pomeranz pitched a perfect inning on Thursday, in his first outing since coming off the injured list.<\/p>\n

Pomeranz said on Friday that the improved performance wasn\u2019t about being healthy, but it was about some changes he made while he was out with elbow inflammation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I was just trying to throw harder this year, and I wasn\u2019t thinking about the consequence of some things that led to some bad habits,\u201d Pomeranz said. \u201cI was throwing a little harder at the beginning of the year, but the ball was leaking the wrong way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pomeranz said when he was on the IL he was able to work on things that he couldn\u2019t while he was on the active roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving that time off really gave me a chance to really clean those things up,\u201d Pomeranz said.<\/p>\n

NOTES<\/h4>\n

Jorge Soler (groin) was out of the lineup on Friday. The move was partly to give Soler time to heal and also to keep Mike Trout from playing center field all three games on the turf at Tropicana Field. Trout, who was the DH in Soler\u2019s place on Friday, is expecting to play center field on Saturday and Sunday. \u2026<\/p>\n

Right-hander Tyler Bremner, the Angels\u2019 top pitching prospect will start for Class-A Tri-City on Tuesday. He\u2019ll throw about two innings, Prebysnki said. Bremner was sick earlier this year, which led to fatigue that caused the Angels to keep him out of games for about a month. \u2026<\/p>\n

Right-hander Chase Shores, who is Bremner\u2019s roommate and also got sick, has not recovered quite as quickly, Prebysnki said. He\u2019s still \u201cworking through his throwing progression,\u201d Prebysnki said.<\/p>\n
