Los Angeles Angels vs Minnesota Twins Starting Lineup — Friday, Jul 10, 2026

Zach Neto is hitless in 2 at-bats against Zebby Matthews, going 0-for-2 in 2 plate appearances with a 0.000 OPS. Nolan Schanuel has had the best results in this group, going 2-for-2 with a 1.000 average and 3.500 OPS, while Oswald Peraza is 1-for-2 with a .500 average and 1.000 OPS. Vaughn Grissom, Jorge Soler, Josh Lowe, Jo Adell, Wade Meckler, and Tyler Heineman have no MLB history vs Matthews, so most of this lineup is seeing him for the first time.

Trevor Larnach is hitless in 3 at-bats against Grayson Rodriguez, going 0-for-3 in 3 plate appearances with a 0.000 OPS. Ryan Jeffers has the standout history here, with the summary showing 2-for-3 and an accompanying 1.667 OPS, while Tristan Gray is 0-for-1 in 1 plate appearance with a 0.000 OPS. Kody Clemens, Josh Bell, Royce Lewis, Brooks Lee, Alan Roden, and Luke Keaschall have no MLB history vs Rodriguez, leaving this lineup with only a few prior looks.

The Angels have slightly more familiarity against the opposing starter, with three hitters carrying prior at-bats against Matthews compared with three for Minnesota against Rodriguez, but Los Angeles also has the broader mix of productive results. Both sides still lean heavily on hitters with no prior MLB history in this matchup.
