Slegers

Slegers steps away from the game after 10 seasons, including five years in the majors. The towering 6-foot-10 right-hander finishes with a 5.46 ERA, 1.36 QHIP and 59/28 K/BB ratio across 89 innings (49 appearances, six starts). The 30-year-old reliever had stints with the Twins, Rays and Angels dating back to 2017.

The first cuts from Rays’ spring training trim their big-league camp roster to 42 players. McKay, who is recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, is the most notable of the inclusions. Hess and Slegers are the most likely relievers to make an impact this season in Tampa Bay.

The deal includes an invite to major league spring training in 2022. Slegers, who pitched for the Rays in 2019-2020, posted a rough 6.97 ERA and 1.87 WHIP over 31 innings with the Angels this season. The 28-year-old will provide some bullpen depth moving forward.

The right-hander was designated for assignment on Saturday and went unclaimed on waivers. Slegers posted a 6.97 ERA and 1.87 WHIP across 31 innings this season.

The right-hander was designated for assignment by Los Angeles and went unclaimed on waivers. Slegers has tossed 31 frames this season in the majors earning a 6.97 ERA and 1.87 WHIP.

The 28-year-old right-hander has been disastrous in 29 appearances for the Angels this season, posting a 6.97 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 25/15 K/BB ratio across 31 innings. He’ll attempt to work out the kinks at Triple-A.

The right-hander will take the place of Patrick Sandoval, who was placed on the injured Wednesday with a back injury. Slegers has a less than stellar 6.51 ERA and 1.81 WHIP this season over 27 2/3 innings.

Slegers heads down to Salt Lake after Steve Cishek was activated from the bereavement list on Thursday. He’ll likely be back at some point before the season ends in a role that offers no fantasy relevance.

The right-hander is replacing Andrew Wantz in the Angels bullpen for the time being. The 28-year-old hurler owns a troublesome 6.46 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 19/13 K/BB ratio over 23 2/3 innings with the Angels this season. He’ll function in a middle relief role.

Slegers has an ugly 6.46 ERA over 27 relief appearances this season. He’ll surely be back after the All-Star break.
