Apr 4, 2025; Anaheim, California, USA; Los Angeles Angels pitcher Caden Dana (36) pitches during the ninth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images The Los Angeles Angels recalled right-hander Caden Dana from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and designated right-hander Shaun Anderson for assignment.
The move is not surprising, as the Angels seek to add available arms to a depleted bullpen. Flamethrower Ben Joyce underwent season-ending shoulder surgery, and veteran Robert Stephenson is still completing his rehab assignment.
Anderson, 30, had a 6.30 ERA and 10 strikeouts across 10 innings of work. He earned a win against the Los Angeles Dodgers last Sunday; in 2 2/3 innings, he gave up one earned run, one hit, and no walks, while striking out three.
Dana is ranked as the organization’s No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline. He was called up earlier this season for a relief appearance, pitching three innings and allowing two runs, four hits, and one walk to go along with two strikeouts.
The 21-year-old standout had a 2.52 ERA in 135 2/3 innings at Double-A Rocket City last season and has options. This season, he is 3-4 with a 5.21 ERA in eight starts at Salt Lake.
“He’ll be our long guy out of the bullpen if we need him in that situation,” Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters of Dana. “That’s the way we will use him, because he has length. We needed length, so that’s what he’s here to do. If something happens in the second inning, he could take the game all the way to the end, and that’s what we needed. And he was available. It was his time to pitch, so we brought him up.”
Despite the bullpen uncertainty, the Angels (25-25) have been on fire, winning eight straight games entering Saturday night’s game against the Miami Marlins.

Baseball pulled Nic Enright out of the darkness. Now, finally, he’s a big-league pitcher
DETROIT — The day Nic Enright underwent a biopsy to officially confirm his diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma in December 2022, his wife raced home from her job as a physical education teacher.Erin approached the train tracks that sit five minutes from their home in Rocky Mount, Va. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the tracks present nothing more than a stomach-jolting speed bump. Of course, on that wretched day, she had to wait. As she sat and watched the train cars chug along, she bawled.AdvertisementTwenty-nine months ago, a weekend like this seemed impossible.On Friday night in Columbus, Enright told Erin and his parents to meet him at an atypical ballpark rendezvous point after the game.

Romain Esse ‘knows why’ he was substituted vs. Liverpool, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner claims
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner says Romain Esse knows the reason he was substituted in the final day draw with Liverpool just 20 minutes after being brought on from the bench.Esse, a £12million signing from Millwall in January, was introduced after 79 minutes, replacing Will Hughes only to be taken off in the third minute of stoppage time despite showing no apparent sign of injury, with Glasner appearing not to look at the forward as he walked over to his place on the bench.Advertisement“He knows why, that’s enough,” Glasner said when asked why he substituted the 20-year-old, before he then expressed his dissatisfaction with certain individual performances.Glasner also criticised some of his players for not being sufficiently focused or determined, with strong words in his press conference after the 1-1 draw.“I’m not really pleased with our performance.

Monaco’s F1 racing ‘fix’ missed the mark — and drivers say the real issues got louder
MONACO — As the Formula One drivers filtered through the media mixed zone after the Monaco Grand Prix, it became clear that they felt similar to the fans and media: the new pit stop rules did not help the racing spectacle here. Instead, they shined a light on a different issue.For the first time, drivers were required to make a minimum of two pit stops during Sunday’s race, which McLaren driver Lando Norris eventually won. The decision came after even more criticism for the Monaco spectacle arose around the 2024 event, a race where an emotional Charles Leclerc won his home race, but was really a procession. The top 10 remained unchanged after an early red flag.AdvertisementAnd while this year’s pit stop changes did create some more interesting moments, as Williams and Racing Bulls executed strong teamwork to give their […]
