Angels Select Jose Rodriguez, Option Kyle Keller

By TC Zencka | August 1, 2020 at 5:28pm CDT

The Los Angeles Angels announced a pair of roster moves after last night’s ballgame. Right-hander Kyle Keller has been optioned to their alternative training site. In his place, righty Jose Rodriguez has been selected to join the major-league roster.

Keller, 27, made two appearances this season, allowing 2 earned runs in 2 1/3 innings. He was acquired this past offseason from the Miami Marlins for Jose Estrada. Keller made his major-league debut with ten appearances last season. He has consistently put up more than 10 strikeouts per nine innings in the minor leagues since being selected in the 18th round of the 2015 draft. He’ll likely find his way back to the major-league roster at some point this season.

Rodriguez, 24, made 9 appearances for the Angels last season as a long man out of the pen (1 start), putting up a 2.75 ERA across 19 2/3 innings. Rodriguez has primarily been a starter in the minors, though it’s been a less-than-stellar last couple of seasons in the upper levels of the Angels’ system. He posted a 6.57 ERA across Double-A and Triple-A in 2019.

    After watching Ward and Hermosillia, can I have Adell instead?

      This should be a no brainer. Ward and Hermosillo are getting way too much playing time for Adell to be sitting in Long Beach. If the Angels would play their set outfield with Fletcher as the backup, then I can understand it, but it seems like Ward is in the lineup every other day. That’s plenty of playing time for Adell.

    The Angels bullpen is an atrocity.

      It’s saying a lot and it’s mad early, but this is easiest the worst I’ve ever seen it.

    Congrats to Mike Trout and his newborn son, Beckham A Trout (yep, that’s BAT).

    I’m sure for a minute or two, the delivery room doctor thought about walking him.
