Angels Transfer Jose Cisnero To 60-Day IL

By Anthony Franco | May 29, 2024 at 11:08pm CDT

The Angels announced they’ve transferred reliever José Cisnero from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list. They needed to open a roster spot for infielder Michael Stefanic, who is back from his own 60-day IL stint. The Halos reinstated him onto the 40-man and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Cisnero has been on the IL since April 28 with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. His 60-day window backdates to the original placement. He’ll be eligible for reinstatement at the end of June. According to the MLB.com injury tracker, Cisnero experienced some lower back soreness when he tried to ramp up his throwing program in recent weeks. It isn’t known if he’ll be ready to return a month from now.

The Angels signed the 35-year-old righty to a $1.75MM free agent deal in February. He was one of six major league free agent signees as the Halos curiously prioritized a complete bullpen overhaul during the offseason. That hasn’t worked out, either in Cisnero’s case or in aggregate. Angel relievers entered play Wednesday ranked 26th with a 4.71 earned run average. Cisnero gave up 13 runs in his first 14 innings of the season, allowing four homers among 17 hits.

Stefanic has been out since suffering a quad strain in Spring Training. The 28-year-old hit .244/.331/.293 in 140 major league plate appearances over the previous two seasons. He’s in his final minor league option year and could soon push the struggling Kyren Paris for a spot on the bench.

        @kellin still wondering why Washington didn’t bring in pillar for Calhoun. He has been red hot might as well go with it.

        30% of all MLB games are decided by one run. If you are a team that loses 60% of your games, then sometimes the one-run losses will come in bunches.

    Bad management. Poor situational hitting. Subpar bullpins.

      Journeyman Willie Calhoun is the cleanup hitter. Kevin Pillar is statistically their best hitter. That’s all you need to know about the status of this team.

        @nukeg it’s sad that Washington doubled down and said the cleanup hitter doesn’t bunt. He’s a chubby meatball, it wasn’t hard to predict that he was going to ground into a double play. Why not have pillar pinch hit.

          I agree Rex. And I look at it another way – Calhoun is not a cleanup hitter. He’s hitting 4th in a depleted lineup. The baseball situation called for a bunt and Calhoun is a seasoned vet who should be able to put a bunt down. O’Hoppe already had a home run in the game. Bunt him over and let Logan hit a fly ball. Period.

    Rengifo should have hustled for a double on that single in the 9th tonight I’ve never seen a ball hit there and held to a single unless it was Pujols or Molina.snd he didn’t score anyway so it was worth the risk.

      Rengifo got thrown out twice the other night trying to stretch two hits into an extra base, one at 3rd and one at 2nd. He needs to get on base and not get thrown out. It’s the next guy’s job to bat him around. I love the aggressive base running but it needs to be strategic.

    Adell’s “breakout” seems to have stalled. The guy is hitting .211/.274/.465 with a 28.5% strike out rate. He struck out three times last night.

    No team in baseball has allowed 6 or more or scored 2 or less (sometimes both). If you need your hitters to give you 7 or your pitchers to allow 1 or less, you’re not going to win often.

      True that Phil, the Angels don’t consistently score 4 or 5 runs enough.its easy to see why, terrible at moving runners over, and even worse clutch hitting with RISP.
