1 week agoAngels Place Yusei Kikuchi On 15-Day Injured List
Yusei Kikuchi was placed on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation, with Tayler Saucedo called up to replace him.
Saucedo, 32, made his big league debut as a member of the Blue Jays back in 2021 but got the majority of his work over the years with the Mariners after Seattle picked him up off waivers prior to the 2023 season. Saucedo proved to be a viable middle relief arm for the Mariners across two seasons, pitching to a 3.54 ERA in 86 1/3 innings of work with a 21.7% strikeout rate against a walk rate of 11.0%.
