Looks healthy at Double-A Caceres (lat) made his season debut for Double-A Rocket City on Friday, striking out a batter in a scoreless inning of relief.

Impact Caceres closed the 2024 season on the Angels' 60-day injured list after undergoing surgery to address a right lat strain. He didn't make any appearances in the Cactus League before being reassigned to minor-league camp March 4, but Caceres apparently received a clean bill of health heading into the season. The 25-year-old righty previously made a pair of relief appearances for the Angels in 2023, but since he no longer possesses a 40-man roster spot, he could have a tough time making it back to the big leagues in 2025.

Sent to minors camp The Angels reassigned Caceres (lat) to minor-league camp Tuesday.

Impact Caceres was attending big-league as a non-roster invitee and has yet to make any appearances in the Cactus League while he continues to work his way back from the lat surgery he underwent last March, so he never seemed to be a serious threat to win a spot in the Angels' Opening Day bullpen. If healthy, Caceres will likely begin the season at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Remains in organization The Angels outrighted Caceres (lat) to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Impact Caceres had been removed from the 40-man roster in order to clear a spot for waiver claim Michael Petersen. The 25-year-old Caceres missed all of last season while recovering from lat surgery and it's not clear when he might be ready to pitch in games.

DFA'd by Halos The Angels designated Caceres for assignment Tuesday.

Impact The 25-year-old will lose his place on the 40-man roster to make room for waiver-claim Michael Peterson. Caceres missed the entirety of the 2024 season after undergoing surgery for a lat strain in March.

Out with lat injury at Triple-A Caceres was placed on the 60-day injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday with a right lat injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact The reliever will now miss at least the first two months of the season while rehabbing. Caceres made two appearances with the Angels last season and should contribute at some point in 2024, but he'll need to get healthy first.
