Los Angeles Angels Place Pitcher On Waivers

The Los Angeles Angels made the decision to designate right-handed pitcher Gerardo Reyes for assignment, marking a significant move for the 30-year-old player.

Earlier in the week, Reyes had been optioned off the 28-man major-league roster, and now he has also lost his place on the 40-man roster.

Reyes has faced challenges throughout his career in the major leagues, with a notably high 7.41 ERA and a 48:20 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 37.2 innings.

#Angels transactions:
•Selected the contracts of INF David Fletcher and INF Jared Walsh
•Transferred INF Luis Rengifo to 60-day IL
•Designated RHP Gerardo Reyes for assignment

•Following yesterday’s game, optioned OF Jordyn Adams & INF Kyren Paris to Triple-A Salt Lake

This struggle likely played a role in the Angels' decision to remove him from their 40-man roster.

Alternatively, the Angels might choose to outright him to the minor leagues, if he goes unclaimed on waivers, or explore potential trade options involving Reyes.
