Hoyt was outrighted off the Angels' 40-man roster Friday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Hoyt threw eight major-league innings this season, allowing 10 runs (six earned). As a 35-year-old with just 102.2 career major-league innings to his name, it's no surprise to see him pass through waivers unclaimed.

Hoyt has spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Salt Lake, where he's posted a 9.42 ERA and 2.02 WHIP across 35.1 innings. He hasn't fared much better in his brief stints with the Angels, as he's allowed six earned runs across eight frames. He'll likely pitch in a low-leverage relief role to close the campaign.

Rotowire

Hoyt was summoned to the big club as a replacement in the bullpen for southpaw Tony Watson (calf), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 34-year-old righty's use will likely be limited to lower-leverage spots while he's up with the Halos.

Angels' James Hoyt: Sent to Angels

Hoyt was traded from the Marlins to the Angels on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.
Hoyt didn't look to be in line to make the Opening Day roster with Miami, so this transaction appears to be a favorable one for the right-hander. He appeared in 24 games out of the bullpen for the Marlins a season ago, posting a 1.23 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 20:8 K:BB across 14.2 frames.

Marlins' James Hoyt: Not in projected bullpen mix
Rotowire
Hoyt, who has a minor-league option remaining, isn't expected to make the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.
The team needs to find room for two Rule 5 pickups in Zach Pop and Paul Campbell, which squeezes Hoyt off the roster. The right-hander did little to bolster his case for a bullpen spot with a 5:5 K:BB through 6.1 innings this spring, and despite his strikeout upside (career 11.8 K/9 in the majors), he'll have to bide his time at the Marlins' alternate site to begin the season.

Marlins' James Hoyt: Acquired by Miami
Rotowire
Hoyt was traded from the Indians to the Marlins on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations.
The veteran right-hander was designated for assignment by Cleveland earlier in the week, and he'll now be making his way to Miami. Given the Marlins' search for players following the COVID-19 outbreak among the team's players and staff, Hoyt should be with the major-league club when it retakes the field. He appeared in eight games for the Indians last season and had a 2.16 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 8.1 innings.
