Clears waivers The Angels outrighted Quijada to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday after he cleared waivers.
Impact Quijada was cast off the Angels' 40-man roster last week, when Los Angeles needed to free up a spot for right-handed reliever Ryan Johnson. After attracting no interest on the waiver wire, Quijada will remain in the Angels organization and serve as bullpen depth in the upper levels of the minors.

Avoids arbitration with Halos The Angels and Quijada avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $1.075 million contract Tuesday.
Impact The deal also includes a $3.75 million club option for 2026. Quijada, 29, has missed much of the last two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he returned in late July this past season and posted a 3.26 ERA and 24:17 K:BB over 19.1 innings. He could see some high-leverage relief work for the Angels in 2025.

Hurls scoreless frame in 2024 debut Quijada allowed one walk in a scoreless inning Wednesday versus Seattle.
Impact Quijada's outing was his first in the big leagues since he underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2023. The left-hander struggled a bit with his control in throwing just nine of 17 pitches for strikes, but he faced the minimum three batters, as a leadoff walk was wiped out on a double play. Quijada pitched in the sixth inning Wednesday, though he could eventually work his way up to higher-leverage work if he's able to string together a series of effective outings.

Activated for season debut The Angels activated Quijada (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Impact Quijada has completed the long road back from May 2023 Tommy John surgery. The left-hander allowed two runs with a 13:4 K:BB over 7.2 innings covering nine rehab appearances. The Angels are likely to deploy him in middle relief.
JULY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Takes rehab to Triple-A Quijada (elbow) had his minor-league rehab assignment moved from the Arizona Complex League to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, per MLB.com.
Impact Quijada logged five outings while with the organization's ACL club, allowing two runs on four hits while notching an 11:0 K:BB over 4.2 innings. In his first outing with Salt Lake on Wednesday, he walked two batters but didn't allow a run while recording two outs (one by strikeout). Quijada could be ready to return to the big-league club shortly after the All-Star break.
JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Continues progressing toward return Quijada (elbow) threw to hitters in a live bullpen session June 11 and tossed live batting practice June 14, per MLB.com.
Impact Since taking a pre-planned break from throwing for a week between late May and early June, Quijada has tossed a 25-pitch standard bullpen session along with the pair of sessions against live hitters. He's now nearly 13 months removed from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last season and appears to be doing well in his recovery. If Quijada continues to progress without any setbacks, he could rejoin the Angels' bullpen before the All-Star break.

Undergoes surgery Quijada (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on his left elbow May 17, per MLB.com.
Impact An MRI and multiple doctors' opinions in early May determined that Quijada needed the season-ending procedure. The lefty reliever is slated to miss about 12 months, so he could return around the middle of 2024. Quijada recorded four saves and five holds while posting a 6.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 10 appearances prior to going down with the injury.

Transferred to 60-day IL Quijada was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list by the Angels on Monday.
Impact It's a procedural move that clears room on the 40-man roster, and the Angels needed it to selected the contract of Cesar Valdez on Monday. Quijada will miss all of the 2023 after it was revealed that the left-hander will need to undergo Tommy John surgery on his elbow.
MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Will undergo Tommy John surgery Angels manager Phil Nevin told reporters before Wednesday's game against the Cardinals that Quijada (elbow) will need Tommy John surgery, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact Quijada sought a second opinion from doctors, and it appears that both groups recommended the reconstructive elbow surgery. The left-handed reliever will miss the rest of the 2023 campaign and he'll likely miss time to begin the 2024 season as well.

Impact Nevin called the first opinion that Quijada received "discouraging," in his initial report from doctors. The southpaw will receive the second opinion before the team announces the severity of the injury, and whether or not Quijada will need surgery. Even if no operation is deemed necessary, it's very likely the 27-year-old will miss more than the required 15 day on the injured list.
MAY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on IL with elbow issue Quijada was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Angels on Friday with left elbow soreness.
Impact Quijada told reporters that he felt sore when he woke up Friday. The left-hander also said he's undergone an MRI, but the results haven't been presented yet. The Angels will call up Chris Devenski to take Quijada's place in the bullpen before Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Implodes for first blown save Quijada blew the save and took the loss against the Royals on Saturday, allowing five runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Quijada had been great this season coming into Saturday, holding opponents scoreless and notching four saves while posting an 8:1 BB:K over eight innings. However, he couldn't seal the deal in the ninth inning against KC, allowing six of the eight batters he faced to reach base. The southpaw plunked two hitters and walked another two while throwing just 15 of 27 pitches for strikes, so he clearly didn't have his stuff working for him. Despite the poor outing, Quijada's strong start to the campaign should allow him to remain in contention for save chances alongside Carlos Estevez for the Angels.
