Wantz (elbow) signed a minor-league deal with the Rays on Jan. 2.

EDGE Analysis

Wantz closed the season with an elbow injury and suffered a setback in early September. There haven't been updates on his health since, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to throw at the beginning of spring training. Wantz has thrown as many as 50.1 innings out of the bullpen in a season, he could be a fairly significant contributor to the Rays in 2025.

Wantz (elbow) was activated from the injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wantz underwent a procedure on his elbow in mid-July, but it was not Tommy John surgery. Nevertheless, he was unable to return to the mound in 2024 after experiencing a setback. This transaction could be an indication that he'll be ready to take the mound at the start of spring training, which is roughly in line with his original timeline.

Wantz (elbow) recently had a setback , and it's not clear when (or if) he'll be able to pitch next season, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

When it was initially clarified that Wantz's season-ending surgery wasn't Tommy John, the expectation was that he'd be ready to take the mound again for spring training in 2025. However, he's since suffered a setback, casting uncertainty about his outlook moving forward. Wantz pitched in only one big-league game this season, allowing one run on one hit while striking out three batters over 1.1 innings June 30 against the Tigers.

The season-ending elbow surgery Wantz required in July wasn't a Tommy John procedure, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

When the Angels organization announced that Wantz had season-ending elbow surgery, not many details were provided, leading to some speculation that he underwent a Tommy John procedure. Though the exact nature of the surgery still hasn't been clarified, the fact that it wasn't a Tommy John repair will shorten the right-hander's timeframe for a return. Wantz is currently rehabbing in Arizona and could be ready to pitch during spring training.

The Angels announced Saturday that Wantz underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The club didn't provide many details on Wantz's procedure, but the prevailing assumption is that he underwent Tommy John surgery. Assuming that's the case, Wantz likely won't be ready to pitch again until late in the 2025 season, if not the start of the 2026 season. He appeared in just one game out of the big-league bullpen this season and made seven appearances (six starts) at Triple-A Salt Lake, where he turned in a 6.17 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 23.1 innings. Set to turn 29 years old in October and likely at risk of missing the entire 2025 season, Wantz will likely be a non-tender candidate this offseason.

Wantz (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The move will free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Keston Hiura, who'll also join the active roster Friday. Wantz was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with elbow inflammation, and there hasn't been any further updates on the injury. He won't be eligible for reinstatement until the end of August.

The Angels placed Wantz on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to July 1, due to right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels recalled Wantz from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wantz has spent the entire season in Triple-A, though he missed nearly two months due to a right forearm injury. Since returning from the IL, he's allowed nine runs (eight earned) in just six innings over three appearances. Despite his poor performance, he'll join the Halos as a replacement for Zach Plesac, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Six of Wantz's seven appearances in the minors this year have been as a starter, though he'll likely be used as a reliever while in Los Angeles.

Wantz (forearm) has given up nine runs (eight earned) on 12 hits and seven walks while striking out 10 over six innings in his three appearances (two starts) since being activated from Triple-A Salt Lake's 7-day injured list June 12.

EDGE Analysis

Wantz missed just under two months of action due to a right forearm strain. Though he's ostensibly healthy again, Wantz has struggled mightily with his control since coming off the IL. He doesn't look to be a viable option to join the Angels during the upcoming week, even though the big club has two open spots in its rotation at the moment.
