Yan was designated for assignment by the Angels on Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yan spent most of the 2021 campaign at High-A Tri-City and posted a 5.25 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 82.1 innings across 20 appearances (16 starts). However, he'll now lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Aaron Loup signed a two-year contract with the Angels on Monday.

Yan (undisclosed) was reinstated from the 7-day minor-league injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Yan spent two weeks on the injured list for an unspecified reason but appears to be healthy heading into the offseason. The southpaw made 20 appearances (16 starts) at High-A Tri-City this year and posted a 5.25 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 82.1 innings.

Yan's velocity was down during camp this spring, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yan was optioned by the Angels on Wednesday after one rough Cactus League outing. Manager Joe Maddon discussed the southpaw Thursday, suggesting that the organization is unsure of the reason for his dip in velocity. Yan, one of the team's top pitching prospects, will likely be looked at closely as he prepares for the minor-league season.

Yan was optioned by the Angels on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yan was not in contention for an Opening Day roster spot and is the team's first cut this spring. The left-hander got into one Cactus League contest, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over 0.2 innings. He'll continue his development in the minors to start the campaign.

Yan did not make the Angels' Opening Day roster.

EDGE Analysis

Yan has never pitched above the Low-A level and was never in serious contention for a roster spot, so his exclusion from the active roster is no surprise. The 21-year-old will open the campaign at the team's alternate training site.

Yan was optioned to High-A Inland Empire on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Yan got to spend some time in big-league camp this spring but was never under consideration for a roster spot. He's yet to pitch above Low-A, but looked there in 20 starts and six relief appearances for Burlington, posting a 3.39 ERA and a 32.3 percent strikeout rate. He'll have to improve upon his 11.3 percent walk rate as he climbs the ladder, however.

Yan was added to the Angels' 40-man roster Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

One of the top pitching prospects in the system, Yan is a couple years away from the majors (if he continues to develop as a starting pitcher), but his upside is such that the Angels wanted to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. The 20-year-old southpaw had a 3.39 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 148 strikeouts in 109 innings at Low-A.
