Angels' Travis MacGregor: Signs minors pact with Angels
Rotowire
MacGregor signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Monday.
MacGregor is 26 years old and has yet to appear in a major-league game, but he posted a respectable 3.82 ERA and 84:31 K:BB in 77.2 innings this past season between the Double-A and Triple-A affiliates of the Pirates. The right-hander was a second-round pick by Pittsburgh in the 2016 MLB Draft.

Pirates' Travis MacGregor: Healthy at Double-A
Rotowire
MacGregor (elbow) has given up four earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out 19 across 10.2 innings through his first three starts for Double-A Altoona.
MacGregor made his debut for Altoona on May 5, a date that marked his first appearance in affiliated ball since August 2018. The right-handed missed the entire 2019 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, then didn't pitch in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor-league season. The 23-year-old appears to be healthy after the long layoff, and while the organization is expected to be conservative with his usage in 2021, it's not out of the question for him to get a call-up to the big leagues before the end of the season if he continues to make bats miss at a prolific rate.
