Angels To Select Wilfredo Tovar

By Jeff Todd | June 7, 2019 at 4:32pm CDT

The Angels are preparing to select the contract of middle infielder Wilfredo Tovar. The Halos Prospects Twitter feed reported that the move was anticipated, with Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times tweeting that he was indeed coming onto the MLB roster.

Tovar made it up to the bigs briefly with the Mets in 2013 and 2014, but hasn’t been back since. He has played exclusively at Triple-A in the intervening seasons. This year, Tovar carries a .285/.329/.404 slash with three home runs over 210 plate appearances.

Corresponding roster moves aren’t yet known. The Halos have eight relievers on the active roster at present, leaving them with just three bench players. Adding another player capable of handling shortstop  is particularly important given that the team is still going without Andrelton Simmons.

        Yep, he played in the 60s and 70s, and mostly with the Twins. If I remember right Tovar was the first player to play all 9 positions in the same game.

        I remember him well. Especially in 1970. He also played all 9 positions in a game.

      Halos are a solid 3rd place team.

      I’m surprised we did not hear anything about the Angels going Kimbrel as an opener.

    Angles buried their chances when Eppler signed Harvey and Cahill thinking it would make them legit contenders.

      They killed their chances when Upton and Heaney went on the IL for so long. The nails were driven in when Simmons went on the IL.

    I am just happy to see my Halos able to bring up several rookies and or minor leaguers to help. I know they have done it in the past but this new batch seems to be helping more and in important times of need. I’m excited for our farm system lately….def. going in the right direction.
