Athletics Designate Angel Perdomo For Assignment

By Mark Polishuk | April 12, 2025 at 11:47am CDT

The Athletics announced that left-hander Angel Perdomo has been designated for assignment.  Right-hander J.T. Ginn was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding roster move, and Ginn will get the start today against the Mets in West Sacramento.

Perdomo has only been in West Sacramento for two weeks, after the A’s claimed him off waivers from the Angels following another DFA.  This brief stint saw Perdomo make four relief appearances for the Athletics, posting a 5.40 ERA across 3 1/3 innings of work.  Perdomo pitched in yesterday’s game (albeit with only nine pitches in one-third of an inning), so he was the odd man out given the Athletics’ need to open up a roster spot for Ginn today.

Perdomo is out of minor league options, so the A’s had to designate him and expose him to the waiver wire before sending him to Triple-A.  If he does clear waivers, Perdomo has the ability to reject an outright assignment and become a free agent, since he has been previously outrighted off a 40-man roster during his career.

Tommy John surgery kept Perdomo off the mound entirely in 2024, and his return to action hasn’t seen an answer to the control problems that have plagued the southpaw for much of his limited MLB career.  Perdomo has a 16% career walk rate across his 52 career big league innings with the Brewers, Pirates, and Athletics, and a 5.54 career ERA reflects the lack of control.  Perdomo has only two strikeouts in 19 batters faced this year, but owns a whopping 34.2% strikeout rate over his time in the majors.

This ability to miss bats has gotten Perdomo attention from multiple teams.  The Braves took a flier on Perdomo with a split contract in the wake of his 2023 TJ procedure, but after getting a look at him in action this spring, Atlanta dealt Perdomo to the Angels late in camp.  The lefty’s time in the Angels’ camp was also limited to just a few days before he was designated and claimed away by the A’s.  It could be that another team in need of southpaw depth could be willing to make a claim and take a shot at fixing Perdomo’s control, since even an average amount of walks combined with his strikeout power could make him an interesting bullpen weapon.

      Of all the Ginn pitchers, in all the towns, in all the world, don’t allow any walks in Sacramento today.

      Can’t be as bad as Estes was.

    I’ve seen Ginn pitch in two home games for Las Vegas this season. He has looked very good. In the first game, he was downright dominant. He looked much better than last season. It will be interesting to see how he does in the bigs.

      Ginn was the right “tonic” for the A’s today!

    Not a whole lot on Ginn here. But he has been slow walking up the ranks at a mediocre level until recently, he has been putting up stellar numbers.

    He was part of the trade from NYM to A’s for Chris Bassitt in ’22

    The Ginn. Good scary movie.

    Dealing Miller could net a top-30 prospect and cap relief, while Perdomo, if retained, could close effectively and preserve bullpen value.

    Perdomo is a rather large dude. I like the little pause in his leg kick as well, it keeps arm behind for awhile.
