The Los Angeles Angels have fired pitching coach Mike Maddux, assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott and bullpen coach Dom Chiti, it was announced Tuesday. The Angels' pitching staff has a 4.51 ERA -- seventh-worst in the majors -- and the most walks in MLB (508) through Monday's games. \n\nAngels interim general manager and baseball operations consultant John Mozeliak said the decision was made after talking to manager Kurt Suzuki. "After spending time discussing with Kurt where we are as a coaching staff and where we want to go in the future, we felt it was best to make a change," Mozeliak said in a statement. Tim Leveque has been named interim pitching coach, while Michael Wuertz will serve as interim bullpen coach. \n\nThe Angels have the majors' worst record at 45-74 as they head toward their 11th consecutive losing season.

Maddux, who turns 65 on Aug. 27, signed a one-year contract with the Angels in the offseason. Under Maddux, the Rangers boasted the best ERA in the majors in 2025 and won a championship in 2023. Chiti was in his first season as the bullpen coach after rejoining the Angels organization in late 2023.
