The Angels are planning to call up Sam Aldegheri to start Friday against the Mariners, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports.
Aldegheri, 22, was one of the two pitchers the Angels got from the Phillies for Carlos Estévez last month. The former Italian Serie player has since pitched four times in Double-A, posting a 5.19 ERA and a 25/9 K/BB in 17 1/3 innings. He’s made a total of six starts above A-ball in his pro career, so this would be a big jump for him.
