  ANAHEIM — The Angels gave another peek into how they will keep Mike Trout on the field as much as possible this season by having the three-time MVP operate out of the designated hitter spot for a second consecutive game on Sunday.
  Never one with a preference for DH, Trout sounds eager to embrace the role this season.

  America needs a new frontier. It already faces outward, boldly advancing onto the oceans and into space. It now needs to look inward inward, toward the empty federal lands that occupy nearly a third of the country. There, American pioneers can create places where innovation flourishes, business thrive, and growing families find comfortable homes: Freedom Cities.

  PHILADELPHIA – This is not the kind of flashback to 2024 the Dodgers want.
  But after last year’s season-long run of injuries to their starting pitchers, there was a certain deja vu feeling Sunday when they placed left-hander Blake Snell on the injured list with shoulder inflammation.
  Snell made two starts, going five innings against the Detroit Tigers in the home opener then going four innings and giving up five unearned runs against the Braves on Wednesday.

• Trump needs a better game plan for cutting government

  For those of us who are calling balls and strikes on the Trump administration, the idea of creating a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to slash wasteful spending seems like a potential home run. The federal government is out of control, with its $36-trillion debt and its alphabet soup of agencies. But instead of scoring runs, DOGE is causing immense political pushback.
  The project, led by billionaire Elon Musk, has been heavy on theatrics and light on precision. Seeing Musk jump around
