Angels News: Victor Mederos Optioned to Triple-A as Los Angeles Prepares for Rangers Showdown The Angels optioned pitching prospect Victor Mederos to Triple-A, changing their bullpen ahead of the Rangers series finale.
Sent to Triple-A The Angels optioned Mederos to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
Impact The 23-year-old was called up from High-A Tri City in mid-August but struggled in his first big-league action with seven earned runs allowed over 5.1 innings. Mederos will now receive his first taste of the Triple-A level.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Called up by Halos The Angels recalled Mederos from High-A Tri City on Sunday.
Impact Mederos spent most of the campaign in Double-A Rocket City's starting rotation, but he moved to Tri City for his last outing. The right-hander hasn't pitched well at either level, as he allowed six runs at High-A and has a 6.60 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 69:48 K:BB across 88.2 innings at Double-A.
AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE
Heading back to Rocket City The Angels optioned Mederos to Double-A Rocket City on Wednesday.
Impact Mederos' stay with the big club lasted just one day, with the young right-hander tossing a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Atlanta. He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to right-hander Dominic Leone, whom the Angels acquired from the Mets ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

Back in majors The Angels recalled Mederos from Triple-A Rocket City on Tuesday.
Impact With Griffin Canning (calf) headed for the injured list, Mederos will come up from Double-A to add depth to Los Angeles' pitching staff. Mederos has been used primarily as a starter in Double-A this season, but will likely come out of the Angels' bullpen as he did during his last stint in the majors.
AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sent back to Double-A The Angels optioned Mederos to Double-A Rocket City on Tuesday.
Impact Mederos surrendered three earned runs in two innings (two appearances) during his brief stay in the Angels' bullpen. The 22-year-old has posted a 5.98 ERA and 71:25 K:BB in 55.2 innings (12 starts) this season at the Double-A level.
JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Contract selected from Double-A The Angeles selected the contract of Mederos from Double-A Rocket City on Friday.
Impact Mederos registered a 5.98 ERA in his 12 starts with the Trash Pandas, but he's also struck out 71 over 55.2 innings to suggest he has the ability to miss bats. He'll likely be a multi-inning relief hurler while with the Angels in his first taste of major-league action.
JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Slated for big-league promotion Mederos will be called up by the Angels prior to Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mederos, 22, has just a 5.98 ERA in 12 starts this season with Double-A Rocket City, although it's worth noting that he's used the pre-tacked balls many pitchers in the Southern League have had issues with. The right-hander has fanned 71 over 55.2 innings of work for the Trash Pandas. It's not clear at this point whether the plan is to use Mederos as a reliever or starter. He'll be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.
