    The Angels are calling up right-hander , as noted by . Hell take the active roster spot of lefty , who was placed on the injured list yesterday with left knee sorene s. A 40-man roster spot was cleared for Fulmer by placing outfielder on the 60-day IL, with manager Phil Nevin confirming to reporters ( ) that the veteran stars season is over. The club also announced that infielder has been reinstated from the 10-day IL, with first baseman going on the injured list to clear space on the active roster. Fulmer was selected eighth overall in the 2015 draft by the White Sox and made his major league debut back in 2016, though he was never able to full establish himself in the majors. He posted a 6.56 ERA Montrezl Harrell Jersey acro s 94 2/3 innings of work between 2016 and 2019 with Chicago before making brief cameos in Detroit, Baltimore, and Cincinnati over the 2020 and 2021 seasons. In those two seasons, Fulmer combined for a 6.00 ERA and 4.59 FIP in 36 innings of work. Fulmer didnt pitch in the majors in 2022, instead spending the season with the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City. He posted a 2.86 ERA in 56 2/3 innings at that level last year, strong enough numbers that the Angels opted to offer him a back in May. Things didnt go as smoothly for Fulmer this year, however, as he posted a 5.27 ERA in 41 innings of work with the Angels Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake City. Nonethele s, Fulmer will get his first taste of big league action since 2021 with the Angels as they look toward what remains of their depth to help cover innings for the seasons final stretch. The addition of Fulmer to the roster officially brings the season to an end for Trout, who appeared in just one game after landing on the injured list with a left hamate fracture in early July. It was a relative down season for Trout when he was on the field, as the superstar slashed .263/.367/.490 in 362 trips to the plate with the Angels this year. Of course, those numbers still clock in at 34% better than league average by measure of wRC+ and really only constitute a down season by Trouts incredibly lofty standards. Trout will look toward a return to the field in 2024, where better health hopefully awaits him after averaging just 79 games a season since the start of the 2021 campaign. Also done for the year is Cron, who slashed a decent .260/.304/.476 in 224 trips to the plate with Colorado this year but saw his performance take a nosedive following a trade to Anaheim. In 15 games with the Angels, Cron posted a brutal .200/.259/.260 slash line that was good for a wRC+ of just 42. A pending free agent this offseason, Cron will face stiff competition from players like , and who are also primarily limited to first base defensively. Crons placement on the IL makes way for the return of Moustakas, who similarly posted solid numbers in Colorado before suffering a downturn in performance upon heading to Anaheim. Overall, Moustakas has slashed .252/.300/.404 in 370 trips to the plate this season. Wilt Chamberlain Jersey
