The Angels will give Kenny Rosenberg his first start of the 2024 season against the Oakland A's on Thursday in Anaheim. His "Throwback Weekend" opponent will be Ross Stripling, who was activated from the injured list earlier Thursday. A's closer Mason Miller will be unavailable because he fractured his non-pitching hand pounding his fist in frustration.
