Dayton re-signed a minor-league deal with the Angels on Wednesday and was assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake.

EDGE Analysis

After originally latching on with the Angels in May, Dayton had the option of opting out of his minor-league contract to pursue a big-league opportunity elsewhere. Instead, the veteran reliever decided to remain with Los Angeles. The southpaw has posted a 2.61 ERA, 0..92 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 20.2 innings with two Triple-A clubs this season and figures to be near the front of the line for a call-up if the Angels need a left-handed reliever.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton opted out of a minor-league deal with the Marlins last weekend, and he'll settle for another minor-league contract with the Angels. The left-hander posted a 2.35 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 15.1 innings over 12 appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville this year, and he'll likely report to Triple-A Salt Lake to begin his time with his new organization.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton signed a minor-league contract with Miami in March, and he's posted a 2.51 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 14.1 innings over 11 relief appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville this year. The southpaw will choose to become a free agent Sunday, likely in hopes of landing a major-league deal elsewhere.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton appears to be back to full strength after inking a MiLB deal and will set his sights on competing for a role in the Marlins' bullpen. He appeared in 13 games during the 2021 season with Atlanta, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with a 14:6 K:BB across 13 frames but missed a good chunk of the campaign due to shoulder inflammation. The southpaw went under the knife in November of 2021 to clean up the AC join in his left shoulder, an operation that wasn't expected to disrupt his normal offseason throwing program.

Dayton underwent a procedure in September to clean up the AC joint in his left shoulder, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton was let go by Atlanta on Saturday after missing most of the 2021 campaign with shoulder inflammation. However, the left-hander is expected to have a relatively normal offseason and should resume throwing in the coming weeks.

Dayton was released by Atlanta on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton missed most of the year with shoulder inflammation, though he did make a single rehab appearance in September, which could bode well for his readiness for spring training. He struggled to a 6.23 ERA in 13 innings prior to the injury, and he's heading into his age-33 season, but he still owns a 3.43 career ERA, which could keep him somewhat interesting on the open market.

Dayton (shoulder) began a rehab assignment at Atlanta's complex league affiliate Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton has been out with a shoulder issue since early June. Given the length of his absence, his rehab assignment is unlikely to be a short one, but he still appears to have time to make it back before the end of the regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton has been sidelined with left shoulder inflammation since June 5. While he still doesn't have a clear timetable to return, he'll be unavailable until early August following his move to the 60-day IL.

Dayton was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton made a relief appearance in Friday's loss to the Dodgers and allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one in 1.1 innings. However, he's now dealing with a shoulder injury and will head back to the IL. Right-hander Jacob Webb was recalled in a corresponding move.

Dayton (thigh) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dayton spent the minimum of 10 days on the injured list with left thigh inflammation. Left-hander Tucker Davidson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett as part of a shuffle to make room for Dayton on the active roster.
