Angels' Elvis Peguero: Back off 40-man roster

Peguero was sent to Triple-A Salt Lake and was removed from the 40-man roster Friday.

Peguero had his contract selected as a replacement for a player who was placed on the COVID-19 injured list in late August. As a result, he can be removed from the 40-man roster without being subjected to waivers. During his first stint in the majors, Peguero threw only 2.1 innings but surrendered seven earned runs out of the Angels' bullpen.
