Félix Peña - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Exits with undisclosed injury Pena left Monday's game against the Reds with an undisclosed injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact He walked gingerly off the mound, and we will await word from the team regarding the nature of the injury. Pena was poised to secure a spot in the middle of the bullpen.

Slimmed down for spring Pena lost 15-20 pounds over the winter, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The weight loss is unlikely to have a major effect on Pena's performance, but it does perhaps signal a commitment to his craft for the coming campaign. The right-hander was used exclusively as a reliever last season and figures to hold a prominent role in the Angels bullpen again in 2021 behind new closer Raisel Iglesias.

Avoids arbiter with Angels Pena and the Angels avoided arbitration Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.1 million deal, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact Pena was a serviceable relief option for the Angels in 2020, saving a pair of games while posting a 4.05 ERA in 26.2 innings. He won't be a favorite for saves in 2021 but could add at least a few more to his career total of three if the newly acquired Raisel Iglesias stumbles or gets injured.

Secures second save Pena allowed one hit and had zero strikeouts and zero walks during a scoreless ninth inning to record the save Wednesday against the Padres.

Impact The 30-year-old entered after Mike Mayers gave up a leadoff single and surrendered a single to the first batter he faced, but he retired the next three hitters with little fanfare. Pena has five holds and has converted two of five save chances with a 3.71 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 26.2 innings.

Blows save chance, earns win Pena was tagged with a blown save but managed to pick up the win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros. He pitched one inning and gave up three runs on four hits...

Impact Pena successfully converted his first save of the season Thursday and was called upon again with the Angels up by a run in the seventh and final frame of Game 1 on Saturday. The right-hander quickly gave up the lead after Myles Straw doubled and Michael Brantley singled him home, then allowed Houston to pull ahead on a two-out single by Martin Maldonado. However, the Angels were able to plate three runs of their own in the bottom of the frame to grab a comeback victory and hand Pena a fortunate win. Ty Buttrey was effective in closing out a one-run win in Game 2 of the twin bill, so it may be sensible to see who gets the next save opportunity before making an assumption about which of the two relievers will function as the Angels' primary closer moving forward.

Notches first save Pena earned the save against San Diego on Thursday, pitching one perfect inning and registering one strikeout.

Impact Pena has been perhaps the most effective Angels reliever this season, and he was rewarded with a save opportunity in a two-run game. The right-hander proved up to the challenge, needing only nine pitches (six strikes) to retired the Padres in order. It is unclear if regular closer Ty Buttrey was unavailable due to his recent usage -- he pitched three of the previous four days and took the loss while giving up three runs and throwing 15 pitches Wednesday -- but there is certainly a chance that Pena will receive more save opportunities moving forward. In 19.1 innings this season, he has notched a 1.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB.

Rough outing Saturday Pena was tagged with a blown save Saturday against the Dodgers. He allowed one run on three hits while fanning one in one inning.

Impact Pena allowed three hits, including a solo home run to Mookie Betts, in the seventh inning. He has now allowed runs in three of his last five appearances, including each of the last two.

Earns win in relief Pena (1-0) earned the win Monday against the Athletics by tossing a scoreless inning.

Impact Pena pitched the eighth inning, replacing Kenyan Middleton, and got the job done easily, inducing two groundouts and one lineout to retire the side on just 12 pitches (six strikes). Pena has been reliable out of the bullpen for the Angels so far, giving up just one earned run in 8.1 innings while notching two holds and posting a 9:1 K:BB.

AUGUST 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Preferred in bullpen role Angels manager Joe Maddon indicated Thursday that he prefers Pena to come out of the bullpen, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Pena started 24 games for the Angels over the previous two campaigns, but he has been used exclusively out of the bullpen thus far in 2020. Matt Andriese was recently moved out of the rotation, but Patrick Sandoval was chosen to take his spot, supporting the notion that Pena isn't likely to become a starter again in the near future. The right-hander has fared well in relief this season, allowing only one earned run on six hits while compiling a 9:1 K:BB in four appearances covering 6.1 innings.

AUGUST 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Looks bound for bullpen The Angels list Pena as a member of the bullpen on their season-opening 30-man roster.

Impact Meanwhile, Patrick Sandoval is listed as a member of the rotation, essentially confirming that he beat out Pena for the sixth and final starting role. Per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Pena and Noe Ramirez are expected to work as the Angels' primary multi-inning long relievers in 2020.
