The Angels are dealing with a bit of a scare involving offseason signee Robert Stephenson. The righty reliever departed Saturday's Triple-A rehab outing after facing one hitter (whom he walked). While details are still sparse, the team told reporters this afternoon that he's headed for further testing after experiencing soreness in his throwing elbow.
Stephenson's three-year contract with the Angels includes a provision for a $2.5MM club option for the 2027 season if he suffers an elbow ligament injury that sidelines him for 130+ days, potentially impacting his contract status.
