The Los Angeles Angels gave up on a struggling veteran outfielder, and are taking a chance on a former first-round pick.
The Los Angeles Angels made a huge roster move on Monday ahead of their series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. The team announced that they were selecting the contract of veteran outfielder and former first-round pick Cole Tucker and recalling right-handed pitcher Davis Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake.
To make room on the active roster for both players, and to make room on the 40-man roster for Tucker, the Angels designated outfielder Aaron Hicks for assignment, and optioned right-handed pitcher Zac Kristofak to Triple-A.Hicks, 34, was the Angels' only offensive player added on a major league contract this offseason.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to get things going in Anaheim. In 18 games, Hicks slashed .140/.222/.193 with one home run and five runs batted in. Due to the emergence of outfielder Jo Adell, who's slashing .327/.382/.592 with three home runs and 10 runs batted in, the team elected to DFA Hicks and give more at-bats to the former No. 10 overall pick.In total, Tucker played 10 games in Triple-A Salt Lake, and slashed .313/.439/.469 with an OPS of .908.
As for the pitching, Kristofak allowed two unearned runs on Sunday in his MLB debut. Daniel, on the other hand, had a 6.08 ERA in five starts at Triple-A this season. He had a 2.19 ERA in three long relief appearances in 2023 at the MLB level.Angels Owner Arte Moreno Was Way Off In His Valuation of Potential Shohei Ohtani Contract
