The Angels brought back righty Shaun Anderson on another minor league contract, as reflected on the MiLB.com transaction log. The tracker also indicates that the Halos released Buck Farmer and Andrew Vasquez from their minor league deals. Anderson will head to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Anderson has signed three separate minor league deals with the Halos this year. They’ve called him up twice but needed to designate him for assignment to take him off the active roster, as he’s out of options. Anderson elected free agency both times and has returned to the organization on new minor league pacts.
Around the transactions, the 30-year-old Anderson has made six big league relief appearances. He has surrendered nine runs on 16 hits (including a trio of homers) in 10 2/3 innings. He’s been pitching out of the rotation in Salt Lake, allowing 5.74 earned runs per nine through 42 1/3 innings. Anderson has an ERA just under 4.00 in seven Triple-A campaigns but has allowed a 6.20 ERA through 162 2/3 MLB frames.
Farmer and Vasquez each signed with the Angels last month. Farmer allowed 12 earned runs in as many innings for the Bees. Vasquez allowed nine earned across 13 frames with 10 strikeouts and five walks. Neither pitcher has logged any MLB action this year.
He’ll be back serving up bombs in a week.
You won’t belive me but he struck out Rushing and Ohtani in the 9th for a save as the Angels completed their sweep of the Dodgers.
I saw it.
Right after he gave up a two run bomb that tied the game.
Don’t understand how he keeps hanging around. He’s gotten so many opportunities and never proven anything
Mr. Anderson how nice of you to join us.
I’m electing free agency. I’m done with organization.. I’m going to a contender.
3 days later – I’m back….
I’d rather they resign (Tim) Anderson to a MiLB. Shaun has been awful.
Toxic ex
The release of Farmer, only cost the Angels
A BUCK !!
