Player Outlook
Samuel Aldegheri likely wouldn't have seen time in the big leagues last season if he'd remained with the Phillies, but a trade to the Angels -- perhaps the most aggressive MLB club in terms of promoting prospects -- resulted in a taste of the majors despite the southpaw having not yet thrown a pitch in Triple-A. The results were mixed, as Aldegheri tossed a six-inning, one-run, seven-strikeout gem in his second outing but struggled in his first and third appearances before ending the campaign on the IL due to a finger blister. Aldegheri isn't a hard thrower, but he notched big strikeout numbers in the minors while also issuing his fair share of free passes, and his 10:10 K:BB during over 13 innings with Angels suggests that walks could be an impediment to establishing consistency in the majors. He'll have a chance to compete for a spot at the back end of the team's rotation in spring training but is more likely to begin the campaign in the minors.

  • Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Dispatched to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Aldegheri to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. Aldegheri made just one appearance this spring, giving up two home runs and striking out three batters in his lone inning of work. He turned in a 4.85 ERA and 1.92 WHIP across 13 innings with the Angels last season, but he'll head back to the minors to begin 2025 and will likely need to demonstrate success over an extended period of time before getting the call back to Anaheim.

  • Angels' Samuel Aldegheri: Out with finger blister

    The Angels placed Aldegheri on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a blister on his left middle finger. The 23-year-old surrendered four earned runs over two innings during his third MLB start Saturday, and he won't be eligible to return from the IL before the end of the season. Aldegheri had a 3.60 ERA in two starts with Double-A Reading after being acquired by the Angels ahead of the summer trade deadline, and he posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 10:10 K:BB over 13 frames in his first taste of the big leagues. The left-hander should have a chance to crack the Angels' starting rotation coming out of spring training, but he could also begin the campaign in the minors given he has yet to see action at the Triple-A level.

  • Angels' Samuel Aldegheri: Rocked by Astros

    Aldegheri (1-2) took the loss Friday as the Angels fell 5-3 to the Astros, giving up four runs on six hits and five walks over two-plus innings. He failed to strike out a batter. After recording his first career win and first quality start in his last outing, Aldegheri crashed back to Earth with a thud. The southpaw threw only 26 of 53 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, and when he did get the ball over the plate it was hit hard -- two-run homer from Alex Bregman helped chase Aldegheri from the game in the third inning. The Angels are essentially holding auditions for their 2025 rotation over the final weeks, so the 22-year-old will keep his spot, but he isn't building a strong case. Aldegheri will take a 4.85 ERA and 10:10 K:BB through his first 13 big-league innings into his next start, which is scheduled to be a rematch with the Astros back in Houston next week.

  • Angels' Samuel Aldegheri: Collects first career win

    Aldegheri (1-1) earned the win in Friday's 5-1 victory over Texas, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven. The Italian rookie cruised to his first big-league victory, generating 14 whiffs en route to his seven punchouts. The only run Aldegheri yielded came via an Adolis Garcia sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, as the Rangers couldn't manage to get an extra-base hit off the southpaw. After his first two starts, Aldegheri's ERA stands at 2.45 to go with a 1.27 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB across 11 innings. With this performance, the 23-year-old should stick in the rotation and projects to make his next start against the Astros at home next weekend.

  • Angels' Samuel Aldegheri: Contract selected ahead of debut

    The Angels selected Aldegheri's contract from Double-A Rocket City ahead of his start Friday against the Mariners. Aldegheri will make his major-league debut Friday after splitting his time this season between High-A and Double-A, during which he recorded 134 strikeouts over 95.1 innings. The 22-year-old southpaw was acquired by the Angels in late July as part of the trade package sending Carlos Estevez to the Phillies. Aldegheri will take the spot in the Angels' starting rotation vacated by Carson Fulmer, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation.

  • Phillies' Samuel Aldegheri: Moves up to Double-A

    The Phillies promoted Aldegheri from High-A Jersey Shore to Double-A Reading on Tuesday. He made his Double-A debut three days later, taking the loss in a start against Akron after striking out eight over five innings while allowing four runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks. The 22-year-old lefty joined the Reading rotation after dazzling over his 13 starts at the High-A level, where he turned in a 3.18 ERA and 1.06 WHIP while striking out 94 batters over 68 innings.
