The Los Angeles Angels recalled left-hander Sam Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake and optioned left-hander Mitch Farris in advance of Tuesday’s road game against the New York Yankees.
The Angels do not have a starting pitcher listed for games at New York on Wednesday and Thursday. Left-hander Reid Detmers is scheduled to start against the Yankees on Tuesday.
Aldegheri, 24, had a solid run with Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic, going 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts (six innings). But he is 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA at Salt Lake in three starts since.
In seven appearances (five starts) for the Angels over the previous two seasons, Aldegheri is 1-4 with a 6.41 ERA.
Farris, 25, had a 2.08 ERA in three relief appearances and has a 5.97 ERA in eight appearances (five starts) over the past two seasons. He did not give up a run over 1 1/3 innings of Monday’s wild 11-10 loss to the Yankees.
