The Angels will promote top prospect Christian Moore to the majors on Friday in Baltimore, a source confirmed on Thursday afternoon.
Moore, 22, was hitting .350 with a .999 OPS in 20 games at Triple-A Salt Lake. He began the season at Double-A Rocket City, hitting .234 with a .665 OPS in his first 34 games.
It seems likely that Moore will get regular playing time at second base, which is the only position he’s played in the minors. The Angels have struggled to get production out of that position because Luis Rengifo (.498 OPS) has not been productive. They’ve also given opportunities to Tim Anderson, Kevin Newman and Scott Kingery, but no one has performed well.
Moore, who was the Angels’ first-round pick in last July’s draft, has played a total of 79 minor-league games.
He is the latest in a list of Angels’ prospects to speed to the majors in less than a year. Shortstop Zach Neto was drafted in July 2022, and he debuted in April 2023. First baseman Nolan Schanuel was drafted in July 2023 and debuted the next month. Right-hander Ryan Johnson was selected last summer, a couple of rounds after Moore, and he made the Angels’ Opening Day roster this season.
The corresponding move will be announced on Friday.
