Angel Perdomo DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Los Angeles Angels have designated left-handed pitcher Angel Perdomo for assignment. The Angels acquired Perdomo from Atlanta in exchange for cash considerations earlier in March. However, he will now be placed on waivers and will likely begin his season at the Triple-A level. Last season, Perdomo was unable to pitch due to Tommy John surgery. In 2023, the southpaw spent his time in the majors in Pittsburgh and logged 29 innings to the tune of a 3.72 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. Across this stint, he held an 11:44 BB:K and generated an impressive 2.75 xERA. Earlier in that season, he posted a similar 3.18 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP across 22 2/3 innings with Triple-A Indianapolis. Fantasy managers should expect Perdomo to contend to return to the majors later in the season if he performs well at Triple-A.

Relief pitcher Angel Perdomo was traded from the Atlanta Braves to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. He has looked good this spring and figures to slot into a spot in the Angels' bullpen. The lefty missed all of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery but was productive in 2023. He posted a 3.72 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 44 strikeouts in 29 innings. Although it was a smaller sample, his 37.6% strikeout rate, 2.75 xERA, and .183 xBA all graded out as elite. He should serve as a solid middle reliever behind the Angels' high-leverage arms of Kenley Jansen, Ben Joyce, and Brock Burke.
