Angels Designate Adalberto Mejia For Assignment

By Mark Polishuk | August 21, 2019 at 9:37am CDT

Prior to yesterday’s double-header with the Rangers, the Angels designated left-hander Adalberto Mejia for assignment.  Righty Jaime Barria was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and Barria tossed five innings while starting the nightcap (a 3-2 Angels loss in 11 innings).

The DFA continues what has been a whirlwind of transactional business for Mejia over the last six weeks.  This is the fourth time Mejia has been designated in that stretch, and the second as a member of the Angels.  The team claimed him after an initial designation from the Twins, DFA’ed Mejia and then lost him on a claim from the Cardinals, and then the Angels re-claimed Mejia after St. Louis designated the southpaw.

Through it all, Mejia hasn’t pitched very well in 2019, with a cumulative 8.06 ERA over 25 2/3 innings for the Angels, Cardinals, and Twins.  A high walk rate (6.0 BB/9) and homer rate (1.4 HR/9) have contributed to his issues, and Mejia also spent over two months on the Twins’ injured list while recovering from a calf strain.

      Oh that’s smart. DFA a 3.38 ERA from a guy who was basically saving their pitching staff from getting no innings from their starting rotation. Big reason they fall apart all of the sudden was Noe going on the IL.

    A couple more teams and a job with a drug cartel and he could be the next Octavio Dotel!

      Octavio Dotel was actually a decent reliever for many years before his new career was discovered. This guy, not so much.

      My exact very first thought. And in record time. Pretty sure Dotel is the only guy ever to play for both the Oakland AND Philadelphia Athletics

    No excuse to let a controlled piece go and keep Trevor Cahill. None.
