Angels Dismiss Three Coaches from Pitching Staff

The Los Angeles Angels have made significant changes to their pitching coaching staff by firing Mike Maddux, Darryl Scott, and Dom Chiti. This decision was announced shortly after a report by ESPN's Jeff Passan on August 11, 2026.

In response to these dismissals, the team has appointed Double-A pitching coach Tim Leveque as the interim pitching coach and Michael Wuertz as the interim bullpen coach. Interim General Manager John Mozeliak stated that discussions with manager Kurt Suzuki led to the conclusion that changes were necessary to enhance the pitching program as the season progresses.
