Angels outright RHP Gerardo Reyes, who is dealing with UCL sprain

The Angels announced that they have outrighted reliever Gerardo Reyes, bringing their 40-man roster to 39.

The right-handed Reyes has been dealing with a UCL sprain in his pitching elbow this spring, but there’s no word on the severity of the injury. He’s still considering next steps at this point, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Reyes joined the Angels last August in a trade with the Padres for catcher Jason Castro, but he didn’t pitch for the Halos in 2020. The 27-year-old made his major league debut the previous season with an unsightly 7.62 ERA in 26 innings out of the Padres’ bullpen, but he did post an excellent 32.5 percent strikeout rate and average 97 mph on his fastball.
