The Angels optioned Samuel Aldegheri to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Aldegheri’s lone spring outing saw two homers and three strikeouts in one inning—after a 2024 with the Angels at 4.85 ERA and 1.92 WHIP over 13 innings, he’s back to the minors for 2025, needing a strong Triple-A run to earn a return trip. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can pass; he’s a distant prospect for now.

Fantasy Impact

This performance further inflates his already concerning ERA and WHIP, pushing them to 4.85 and 1.92, respectively. With a strikeout-to-walk ratio plummeting to 1.00 and a lack of strikeouts in this game, Aldegheri's fantasy value is taking a significant hit. His inability to control the game or limit damage makes him a risky play in all fantasy formats. Owners should consider other streaming options, as his current form and underlying metrics suggest continued struggles.

Samuel Aldegheri delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings in Friday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marks a continuation of a promising start to Aldegheri's season, now holding a 2.45 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP through his first couple of starts. While his FIP of 4.53 suggests some potential regression, his ability to maintain a solid strikeout rate (8.2 K/9) and manage base runners effectively is encouraging for fantasy managers. Given his performance so far, Aldegheri should be considered a viable option in most fantasy formats.

Samuel Aldegheri endured a rocky start, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

This outing sets a concerning tone for Aldegheri. The modest strikeout count and high FIP of 7.06 suggest potential ongoing struggles in controlling games. Fantasy managers should be wary of his high WHIP and low K/9 rate, indicating limited upside in standard formats. His ability to improve his strikeout-to-walk ratio will be critical for any future fantasy relevance.
