Angels Select Sebastian Rivero, Transfer Jorge Soler To 60-Day Injured List

By Anthony Franco | September 8, 2025 at 6:17pm CDT

6:17pm: Rather than shutting Anderson down, the Halos moved Jorge Soler from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list as the corresponding move. The designated hitter/corner outfielder has been out since July 24 with lower back issues. The transfer backdates to his initial IL placement, so Soler could theoretically return for the last week of the season. He hasn’t begun a rehab assignment, though, and it seems there’s a good chance he doesn’t make it back this year.

4:35pm: The Angels selected catcher Sebastián Rivero onto the big league roster, notes Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Rivero is starting tonight and hitting eighth against Twins righty Simeon Woods Richardson. Logan O’Hoppe heads to the seven-day concussion injured list after being hit on a backswing by A’s infielder Jacob Wilson yesterday.

Rivero was not on the 40-man roster, so the Halos will need to announce another move before game time. Tyler Anderson recently suffered what is expected to be a season-ending oblique strain and could be moved to the 60-day injured list if the Halos officially rule him out for the year.

O’Hoppe and Travis d’Arnaud have divided the work behind the plate all season. The Angels had gotten away with carrying only two catchers on the 40-man roster as a result. O’Hoppe’s injury forces them to tap into their non-roster depth with a few weeks remaining in the season. The 26-year-old Rivero signed an offseason minor league contract and has been at Triple-A Salt Lake all year. He’s hitting .264/.309/.429 with nine homers, below-average production in a hitter-friendly league.

As is the case with most third catchers, Rivero isn’t going to provide much offensively. He’ll look to offer capable defense while backing up d’Arnaud for at least a week. Tonight will mark his first MLB action in three years. He has 34 career games under his belt, all of which came with the Royals between 2021-22. The righty hitter batted .167 with a .234 on-base percentage over 73 trips to the plate.

    Logan should have O’Hopped out of the way.

    Hope Logan makes a full recovery.

    He’s the guy who makes surprise visits to the Children’s Hospital, plays stickball with kids in the Angels parking lot, etc.

      @old york. Isn’t that a third catcher. I prefer wallach, but im not sure if there’s much separating them. I guess its barely over the Mendoza line with wallach, and passable defense.

        i believe Wallach is out of options, so they probably turned to Rivero, The Angels are just trying to get through the season at this point. They actually have some decent catching prospects, but they are still young.

          Hoping Davalillo pans out. Kid has an awesome swing and great pop.

    Shows you just how truly awful D’Arnaud has been that this guy was brought up and immediately in the lineup.

    Fascinating career for Soler. 12 seasons, best of which was 3.5 BWAR. Total career BWAR 6.5. $91M so far wth a guaranteed $16M for 2026. I don’t get it…never have.

      Completely desperate move by the Angels picking this guy up. Everyone panned this move immediately after it happened and… rightly so.

        Thats not what happened, they dumped Canning for him. It was what both teams considered a change of scenary swap.

          Nah they were too cheap to pay Canning 5 million in Arb. swapped him for 24 million of the 36 mill that was left on the remaining 2 years of Solers contract. Braves dumped canning and Mets said thank you. He was good till a foot injury.

      The culprit: Perry Minasian.

      I don’t blame Soler. This is the United States. Contracts are mutually-agreed upon.

    I noticed the new pop up ads that MLBTR added to the bottom of the screen. Some of them take up a third of the substantive viewing area…nice.

      $30/yr can eliminate this issue. You’re on here a lot, so it very well could be a really good investment.
