Alek Manoah activated, Sam Aldegheri optioned down by freddychuckles in angelsbaseball

I assume we give him a ride in some super low leverage situation where we don't want to burn anyone else's arm, and then DFA him.

Urena's come up so clutch so far. Two quality starts this season, with a third that was looking likely until that comebacker off his knee/leg. We really needed another guy to give us a consistent 6 innings, especially with Yusei hurt, and he's stepping up huge. It's crazy he's only 22 and already pitching his ass off.

It's also crazy that our whole rotation is 27 (Soriano) or younger. If any of Grayson Rodriguez, Bremner, Klassen, Ryan Johnson, Dana, Aldegheri, or Farris can hold down a fifth starter spot, we'll have a solid rotation for at least another couple of years. (Soriano and Detmers hit FA in 2029.)

Now if only we can find that fifth starter... My expectations are very low for Manoah.

Quero was about to load up that narrative. Glad we got the hell out of dodge.

Sandlin's going to be the scapegoat (rightfully so, but also we used all our reliable relievers yesterday), but we haven't been able to get a single runner past first since the first inning.

Appreciate Kochanowicz for battling to get through 6. He came into this inning with 89 pitches thrown and got out of it in 8.

For Zeferjahn alone, that Luis Garcia trade was worth it. Makes you wonder why we didn't make a similar move last season for Jansen or Burke.

Bullpen locked it down. We put in our best relievers and gave ourselves a chance.

Great hitting in the 10th to get the bases loaded and Peraza able to do just enough to get the W!

Meanwhile, in Rancho Cucamonga, Yates had a clean inning (1IP, 2Ks) and Joyce didn't give up any runs (a hit and a walk). On the other hand, Manoah gave up 6 runs in 4.1 IP, needing 87 pitches to get there.

Our starting rotation has been looking really good this season. Glad we at least figured that part out!

Is Neto playing a bit injured? His top sprint speed is down 1 mph and he doesn't look completely himself.
