Angels' Prospect Mitch Farris Gets the Call!
Get ready for some exciting baseball action! Left-handed pitcher Mitch Farris is set to make his MLB debut today for the Los Angeles Angels against the Kansas City Royals. The Angels selected Farris's contract from Double-A Rocket City, giving the 24-year-old a chance to shine on the big stage.
Farris has been impressive in Double-A, boasting a 4.27 ERA and a remarkable 28.0% strikeout rate over 116 innings. This promotion skips Triple-A entirely, showcasing the Angels' confidence in his abilities. He faces veteran right-hander Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Royals.
In his last six outings in the minors, Farris recorded a 2.52 ERA and 1.26 WHIP showing he's ready to compete. He covered at least six innings in five of those starts, demonstrating his stamina and pitch count management.
Orioles Roster Move on the Horizon
The Baltimore Orioles are also making moves. Tyler Wells is returning from the injured list today, potentially shifting the Orioles to a six-man rotation. A corresponding 40-man roster move is necessary to accommodate Wells' return. Keep an eye out to see who is designated.
