Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Rosenberg was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Tuesday.
Rosenberg cracked the majors for the first time in his career last season, allowing five earned runs over 10.2 innings while striking out eight batters. He performed well in Triple-A last season (3.16 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) and is having a very good spring, so there is a chance Rosenberg can work his way back into the Angels' bullpen if he maintains his current pace.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Clears waivers
Rotowire
The Angels outrighted Rosenberg to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
He'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed off waivers when the Angels removed him from the 40-man roster last week to clear a spot for the newly signed Justin Garza. Rosenberg made three appearances (one start) for the Angels in 2022 but otherwise spent the majority of the season as a member of Salt Lake's rotation. In 62.2 innings for the Triple-A club, Rosenberg submitted a 3.16 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 62:27 K:BB.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: DFA'd by Halos
Rotowire
Rosenberg was designated for assignment by the Angels on Monday.
Rosenberg spent multiple brief stints in the majors during the first half of 2022, posting a 4.22 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 10.2 innings. If he can recreate his Triple-A numbers from last season (3.16 ERA, 1.24 WHIP), there is a chance Rosenberg can find himself on the 40-man roster and in the majors next season at some point. For now, newly-signed Justin Garza will take his roster spot.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Back in action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Rosenberg (arm) was reinstated from Triple-A Salt Lake's injured list last week and returned to action Sunday, covering two innings and striking out three while allowing two earned runs on four hits.
Rosenberg had been out of action since early July with the unspecified arm injury before he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in mid-August. Though he possesses a spot on the Angels' 40-man roster, Rosenberg may need to string together a few quality performances at Triple-A to earn a promotion back to the majors in September.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Covers one inning in rehab start
Rotowire
Rosenberg (arm) began a rehab assignment Monday with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate and gave up three earned runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one over a one-inning start.
Rosenberg, who currently resides on Triple-A Salt Lake's 7-day injured list due to an apparent arm issue, faced six batters in his first game action since July 3. The Angels are likely planning on having Rosenberg getting stretched back out before he rejoins the Triple-A rotation, so expect him to make at least a couple more starts in the lower levels of the minors.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Dealing with arm issue
Rotowire
Rosenberg has been building back up after his arm "didn't feel great" following a period on paternity leave, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Rosenberg last pitched for Triple-A Salt Lake on July 3 and went on paternity leave soon thereafter. The southpaw discovered that his arm didn't feel right upon his return, but he's now throwing and hopes to be able to return to game action in a few weeks. Rosenberg has pitched in three major-league games with the Angels this season, posting a 4.22 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB over 10.2 innings.
Rosenberg was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Rosenberg was called up for a spot start Sunday against Seattle and wound up throwing 4.2 scoreless innings, though his 1:3 K:BB was hardly impressive. He'll return to the minors as the Angels call up Janson Junk for added relief depth.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: One out short of win
Rotowire
Rosenberg allowed two hits and three walks with one strikeout over 4.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Sunday.
Rosenberg threw 71 pitches (43 strikes) in his first big-league start. He performed well but fell one out shy of qualifying for the win. He'd given up five runs in six innings across two relief appearances earlier in the season, though he's pitched well as a starter in the minors, logging a 2.34 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB in 34.2 innings with Triple-A Salt Lake. The southpaw appears to be in contention with Jose Suarez for the role of sixth starter in the Angels' rotation. The Angels are off each of the next two Thursdays, so it's unclear if they will turn to either Rosenberg or Suarez in a starting role in the immediate future.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Called up for Sunday's start
Rotowire
Rosenberg was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Sunday's game at Seattle, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Rosenberg has made two appearances out of the bullpen for the Halos this season, and he'll make his first career big-league start Sunday. The 26-year-old has a 2.34 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB over 34.2 innings for Salt Lake this year, and he could receive another turn through the rotation with a strong showing versus the Mariners.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Slated to start Sunday
Rotowire
Rosenberg will be called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Sunday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Rosenberg's first two major-league appearances came as a reliever, and he allowed five runs while striking out seven in six innings. He was sent to the minors in early June but will rejoin the big-league club to make his first career start in the majors Sunday. Over seven starts with Salt Lake this year, he's posted a 2.34 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 34.2 innings.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Angels optioned Rosenberg to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.
Rosenberg's demotion doesn't come as a major surprise after he was pressed into long-relief duty behind Noah Syndergaard in Tuesday's 9-1 loss to the Yankees. After Syndergaard exited midway through the third inning, Rosenberg proceeded to work five innings, giving up four earned runs on five hits and two walks along the way. The Angels called up Andrew Wantz from Triple-A to join the bullpen as a replacement for Rosenberg, who wasn't going to be available for a few days following the 99-pitch outing.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Mops up in blowout loss
Rotowire
Rosenberg covered five innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 9-1 loss to the Yankees, giving up four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five.
Fresh off being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake, Rosenberg was able to save the Los Angeles bullpen after starter Noah Syndergaard labored through 2.1 innings. Since the Angels don't have an opening for him in the rotation and he's unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for at least four days after the 99-pitch outing, Rosenberg could be optioned back to Salt Lake ahead of Wednesday's game in favor of a fresh relief arm.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Called up by Halos

Rosenberg was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Rosenberg has spent two brief periods on the big-league roster this season but has only made one appearance, allowing a run in one inning of work. In five starts for Salt Lake, he owns an excellent 1.73 ERA, though he's likely to work out of the bullpen during his time with the Angels.

Rosenberg has been in the majors for the past week but didn't make an appearance during his time with the Halos. He'll head back to Salt Lake, where he has a 0.96 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over 9.1 innings.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Gets call-up
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Rosenberg from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Rosenberg will give the Angels a long-relief option out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the White Sox after starting pitcher Jose Suarez -- who was optioned to Salt Lake in a corresponding move -- lasted only four innings in Saturday's 4-0 loss. Jaime Barria covered three innings following Suarez's departure and likely won't be available for the next couple of days, though he could slot into the rotation next weekend when Suarez's turn comes up again. Assuming that's the case, Rosenberg doesn't look like he'll have much fantasy value while he's limited to low-leverage mop-up duties.

Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Allows one run in debut
Rotowire
Rosenberg completed an inning in relief against Houston on Monday, allowing a run on two hits and a walk while striking out two.
The southpaw had his contract selected earlier in the day and was brought in to make his big-league debut with the Astros up by four runs in the eighth inning. Rosenberg struck out the first batter he faced before allowing the next three hitters to reach base on a walk and two singles. The outing wasn't entirely bad for the reliever, as he notched four swings-and-misses and struck out two. Rosenberg figures to be used primarily in low-leverage spots while he remains up with the big club.
