Brogdon was just good enough to close it out, even if it wasn’t pretty.

Brogdon is unlikely to see many save chances moving forward as long as Smith is available.

Brogdon appeared in 43 games for the Los Angeles Angels in 2025, posting a 5.55 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 47 innings. Despite those surface struggles, his underlying metrics were more promising, including a 3.91 xERA that suggests room for positive regression. Brogdon previously delivered solid results during his time with the Phillies, including sub-3.50 ERAs in 2021 and 2022. Heading into 2026, he projects to open the season in low-leverage relief roles as he works to rebuild consistency.
