Aldegheri was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday and made his first start of the year a day later. It was a rough opening for the young lefthander as he allowed two hits, two walks, and a sacrifice fly to the first five batters as Chicago took a 2-0 lead. But, he settled in and allowed only two singles over his last 3.2 scoreless innings. He exited after just 69 pitches despite the fact he was locked in and threw 97 pitches in his last minor league start last Tuesday. With Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) landing on the IL, there is an opening in the rotation in the short term, so it's possible that Aldegheri may end up getting a couple more starts.

Fantasy Impact

After pitching for Team Italy in the WBC last month, Aldegheri has largely struggled at Triple-A so far this season. The 24-year-old lefty has limped to a 10.80 ERA in three starts, posting an 11-10 K/BB ratio across 13 1/3 innings. Still, the Angels will give him his first shot in the show, as he is expected to join the club ahead of Tuesday's game at Yankee Stadium.
