Giants Designate Angel Rondon For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | July 26, 2022 at 6:20pm CDT

The Giants have designated right-hander Angel Rondón for assignment, Andrew Baggarly of the Athletic was among those to relay. The move clears a 40-man roster spot for infielder Tommy La Stella, who is back after a stint on the COVID-19 injured list.

San Francisco nabbed Rondón off waivers from the Cardinals two weeks ago, and he’s made just two Triple-A appearances since that point. He’ll now lose his roster spot and perhaps never appear in a big league game with the Giants, as he’ll either be traded or waived within the next week.

Rondón, a 24-year-old righty, has three big league appearances under his belt. He tossed two frames over two outings last season, and he’s made one five-inning relief appearance with St. Louis this year. He’s spent the majority of the year in Triple-A, working as a swing option for the Cardinals top affiliate in Memphis. Rondón threw 49 innings in 18 appearances (five starts) there, posting a 4.04 ERA with a decent 24.2% strikeout percentage but an elevated 15.3% walk rate.

This is the second of three minor league option years for Rondón, so any team that acquires him could stash him in Triple-A as a depth arm for the next season and a half. If he passes through waivers unclaimed, he’d remain with the Giants top affiliate in Sacramento as a non-roster player.

    Someone needs to give him a real chance.

      There is obviously something amiss as he has had real opportunities before. Given the Giants’ situation right now and their tendencies to take longshot chances on pitchers that tend to pay-off, this is likely going to result in him going to AAA and being stashed.

        7 career innings pitched is a real opportunity?

    They should have just DFA’d La Stella instead.

      Beat me to it. Don’t understand how he has been in the league for 9 years, has sub 4 WAR, and still has a roster spot.

        When he’s healthy, he has one of the best approaches at the plate in the game. Trouble is, he’s never healthy.

    He has pitched seven innings in the big leagues and still hasn’t given up an earned run. How many people can say that?

    Another Zaidi dumpster dive gone down the drain. Zaidi will have to remake the Giants roster in the offseason. Especially losing Rondon, Belt, Pederson, Longoria, Flores, possibly Castilla, hopefully LaStella and a major portion of starting/relief pitching. Not to mention others on 40 man roster that need to become ex-Giants.

        Agree. The Giants are definitely not trading Castilla.

      They should’ve never cut him loose to begin with. Guy was a top 20 prospect this year. While they let asshats like Verhagen and McFarland hang around.

    Who cares if it’s another dumpster dive that didn’t pay off? Most don’t. But every once in a while FZ finds a useful piece. Keep divin’ Farhan.

    Rendon for Rondon. Straight up. Whatta ya say Giants? You need a 3b and Halos need to shed salary. Take a gamble. Next year will be the year Rendon is healthy and hits again. As Joe Isuzu used to say, “I guarantee it.”

    Rather bigoted decision to remove a man of color from the roster who has immense upside and age in his favor to give a job to a white man that is over the hill.
