Angels players are voicing concerns about their challenging travel schedule, which has them playing a night game in Anaheim before a quick trip to Minnesota for a series beginning the next night. Players like Mike Trout and Kenley Jansen highlight the unhealthiness of such scheduling, particularly with the lack of adequate rest ahead of a day game. While teams traditionally play afternoon games on getaway days, the Angels were scheduled for a late start in order to accommodate likely larger crowds, raising issues regarding player well-being and the need for potential changes in scheduling rules.
"I don't think it's healthy for anybody," Angels closer Kenley Jansen said. "To finish playing a night game like that, get in [to Minnesota] at six in the morning."
"It's not ideal for sure," Mike Trout told the Athletic. "I don't know when we're supposed to land, but it's going to be early [Friday morning]."
