The Angels announced that right-hander has been released. He had been designated for a signment earlier this week as the corresponding Solomon Hill Jersey move when the club signed catcher . Zuiga, 26, spent le s than a year as an Angel. He was acquired from the Cardinals in February in a cash deal and spent the 2024 season as an optionable depth arm for the Halos. He made 15 appearances at the big league level, allowing 5.09 earned runs per nine. His 15.8% strikeout rate and 10.5% walk rate in that time were both subpar. He also to sed 28 1/3 innings in the minors with a 5.08 ERA, 15.4% strikeout rate and 7.3% walk rate. Those results got the righty bumped off the roster and into free agency. He will now a se s options on the open market, which will likely lead to a minor league deal. He does have upper 90s velocity and was able to put up some good numbers not too long ago. With the Dodgers in 2021 and 2022, he to sed 90 Double-A innings with a 4.10 ERA, 29.8% strikeout rate and 11.1% walk rate. He reached free agency ahead of 2023 and got a surprising major league deal with the Cards. But that club only let him to s two major league innings while he posted a 7.63 ERA in Triple-A. A trade to the Angels didnt lead to a bounceback but hes still young and some club might take a bet on the arm to see if they can work with it. Tyler Herro Jersey |
