Introduction

Main Body
The Los Angeles Angels have made a major administrative change after firing General Manager Perry Minasian, a decision caused by five straight losing seasons. John Mozeliak has been appointed as an interim General Manager and consultant. Mr. Mozeliak emphasized that the current coaching staff, including Manager Kurt Suzuki, will keep their jobs for the rest of the season. Consequently, the interim management will first focus on the 2026 MLB Draft and the upcoming trade deadline before starting a formal search for a permanent General Manager.
洛杉磯天使隊在解雇總經理 Perry Minasian 後，進行了一次重大的行政變動，此決定是由於球隊連續五個賽季失利。John Mozeliak 已被任命為臨時總經理兼顧問。Mozeliak 先生強調，包括總教練 Kurt Suzuki 在內的現有教練團，在本季剩餘時間內將保留職位。因此，臨時管理層將首先專注於 2026 年 MLB 選秀及即將到來的交易截止日，隨後才開始正式尋找永久總經理。
Regarding player health, the Angels are tracking the recovery of Travis d'Arnaud and Mike Trout. Mr. d'Arnaud, who has been out since May 6 with a foot injury, has started baseball activities again to help his recovery. Meanwhile, Mr. Trout is recovering from a hamstring strain; he has started hitting and is expected to travel with the team to Seattle.
關於球員健康狀況，天使隊正在追蹤 Travis d'Arnaud 與 Mike Trout 的康復進展。d'Arnaud 先生自 5 月 6 日起因腳傷缺陣，目前已重新開始棒球活動以協助康復。同時，Trout 先生正從大腿後側肌肉拉傷中恢復；他已開始擊球練習，預計將隨隊前往西雅圖。
At the same time, the Oakland Athletics are dealing with several roster changes. Shortstop Jacob Wilson is recovering from a shoulder injury and is listed as day-to-day. Left fielder Tyler Soderstrom was taken out of a recent game due to hip tightness and is waiting for a medical evaluation. Furthermore, pitcher Jacob Lopez has shown better performance in the minor leagues, which may help him return to the major league roster after struggling in previous roles.
與此同時，奧克蘭運動者隊正處理多項陣容變動。游擊手 Jacob Wilson 正從肩傷中恢復，目前被列為每日觀察（day-to-day）。左外野手 Tyler Soderstrom 因髖部緊繃在近期的一場比賽中被換下，目前正等待醫療評估。此外，投手 Jacob Lopez 在小聯盟表現有所提升，這可能有助於他在先前表現掙扎後，重新回到大聯盟名單。
Conclusion
The Angels are moving forward under temporary leadership while waiting for key players to return, and the Athletics are assessing the health and performance of several team members.
天使隊在臨時領導層下繼續前行，同時等待關鍵球員回歸；而運動者隊則在評估數名隊員的健康狀況與表現。
