Daniel Poncedeleon Sent Down to Triple-A
Daniel Poncedeleon was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. Poncedeleon looked inefficient but electric in his start on Tuesday, striking out eight in four innings but racking up 90 pitches in the process. He was pitching in Luke Weaver's spot in the rotation and will likely be back up once rosters expand.

Angels Sign Daniel Ponce de Leon
Daniel Ponce de Leon to a minor league deal on Monday, per the team's official transaction log. Ponce de Leon has spent his entire Major League career to this point with the St. Louis Cardinals, pitching to a 4.33 ERA, a 4.83 FIP, 152 strikeouts, and 81 walks in 147.2-lifetime innings. In 33.1 innings last season, the right-hander posted a 6.21 ERA and a 6.11 FIP while also registering 24 strikeouts, 22 walks, and a pair of saves. With 22 of his 57 career appearances coming as a starter, Ponce de Leon could provide the Angels with some additional depth in either the rotation or the bullpen. Los Angeles' current rotation options include Shohei Ohtani, Noah Syndergaard, Patrick Sandoval, Jose Suarez, Michael Lorenzen, Reid Detmers, and Jaime Barria.
