URGENT UPDATE: The Los Angeles Angels have just announced the recall of right-hander Jose Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake, while designating fellow righty Connor Brogdon for assignment. This decision comes ahead of their critical game against the Athletics today, July 15, 2023, in West Sacramento, California.
Jose Fermin, just 23 years old, has had a challenging season, entering the matchup with a record of 2-2 and a 6.63 ERA over 23 games. His previous stint in the majors ended poorly last month when he surrendered three runs without recording an out. Fans are eager to see if Fermin can turn his performance around this time as the Angels fight to improve their standings.
Meanwhile, Connor Brogdon, 30, struggled in his last outing, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while retiring only two batters during Saturday’s loss. He concludes his tenure with the Angels this season holding a record of 3-1 and a 5.30 ERA in 37 games. His career record spans 180 games across the Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Philadelphia.
The Angels find themselves in a precarious position, currently sitting in fourth place in the AL West, trailing only the Athletics. As they gear up for the game today, these roster changes underscore their urgent need for improved performance on the mound.
Fans and analysts will be closely watching to see how Fermin’s recall affects the team’s dynamic in this crucial phase of the season. Stay tuned for updates as the Angels seek to turn their fortunes around!
