URGENT UPDATE: The Los Angeles Angels have made a significant roster move, recalling right-hander Jose Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake and designating Connor Brogdon for assignment. This decision was announced just ahead of their game against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday, signaling a pivotal moment for the struggling team.
Fermin, 23, enters the Angels lineup after a mixed performance, holding a record of 2-2 with a 6.63 ERA across 23 games. His recall comes after a shaky outing last month where he surrendered three runs without recording an out, prompting his option to the minors. The Angels are counting on him to contribute positively in a crucial time as they fight to improve their standing in the AL West.
In a contrasting turn, Brogdon’s tenure with the Angels has come to an end after a disappointing performance in Saturday’s game, where he allowed two runs on two hits in just over an inning of work. His season record stands at 3-1 with a 5.30 ERA in 37 games, reflecting a struggle to maintain consistency on the mound. With a career record of 13-9 and a 4.24 ERA spanning 180 games with the Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Philadelphia, Brogdon’s release marks a significant shift for the team’s pitching lineup.
The Angels currently sit at the bottom of the AL West, trailing only the Athletics, making these roster adjustments all the more critical as they seek to turn their season around. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Fermin performs in his return and how the Angels adapt without Brogdon.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as the Angels aim to regain their footing in the league.
