The Los Angeles Angels shuffled their roster around ahead of Sunday’s game, designating reliever Jordan Romano for assignment in the process.
#Angels transactions:
•Recalled RHP José Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake
•Selected the contracts of LHP Joey Lucchesi (#67) & C Sebastián Rivero (#38)
•Placed C Logan O’Hoppe on 10-day IL (left wrist fracture)
•Designated RHP Shaun Anderson & RHP Jordan Romano for assignment— Angels PR (@LAAngelsPR) April 26, 2026
Romano signed a one-year, big league contract with the Angels in the offseason worth $2 million, but hasn’t lived up to expectations so far. He pitched in 11 games, allowing nine runs through eight innings pitched for a 10.13 ERA. He began the year as a closer, converting his first four save opportunities, but moved down the pecking order after blowing consecutive opportunities.

The final straw came in Saturday’s game, where he allowed four runs in 0.2 innings.
The Halos also DFA’d right-hander Shaun Anderson in the move.
In a corresponding move, the Angels recalled Jose Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake and selected the contract of southpaw Joey Lucchesi.
Fermin has made nine appearances in Triple-A, posting a 3.27 ERA through 11 innings pitched. He featured in 40 games for the Angels last season, and had a 4.46 ERA.
Lucchesi has bounced between the majors and Triple-A already this season, and has pitched three times for the Angels. He has a 7.71 ERA through 2.1 innings.
The Angels’ bullpen has been among the worst in MLB this season, posting a 5.01 ERA so far. They’ll hope their bullpen shuffle can get them back on track as they look to salvage their series against the Royals with a win on Sunday.
