Strickland (shoulder) tossed a bullpen session Wednesday during the Angels' first workout of spring training, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland didn't make any appearances in the majors or minors after July 6 last season due to a right shoulder strain, but he looks to be fully healthy as spring training gets underway. The veteran right-hander is attending camp as a non-roster invitee and will need to perform well during the Cactus League to clinch a spot in the Angels' Opening Day bullpen. Strickland made 19 appearances for the Halos last season, notching one save and two holds while posting a 3.27 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 22 innings.

The Angels re-signed Strickland (shoulder) to a minor-league contract Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland missed the entire second half of the 2025 season with a right shoulder strain and it's unclear what his current health status is. The veteran reliever held a 3.27 ERA in 19 appearances for the Angels before getting hurt, but a 14:10 K:BB in 22 innings didn't make a pretty picture. If healthy, Strickland could eventually work his way into a middle-relief role for the Halos, but an initial stint at Triple-A Salt Lake is likely.

Strickland (shoulder) is progressing in his recovery from a right shoulder strain but isn't yet throwing, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

The details of how Strickland is "progressing" aren't clear, but it's nonetheless the first positive report on the reliever since he landed on the IL with a right shoulder strain July 7. While the injury was considered significant, it didn't require surgery, and there remains a possibility that Strickland could be back with the Angels sometime in September. However, in order for that to happen, he'll likely need to begin a throwing progression in the relatively near future.

The Angels transferred Strickland (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland has been diagnosed with a "significant strain" in his right shoulder, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, and now won't be eligible to return from the injured list until sometime in early September. The Angels needed the 40-man roster spot in order to select the contract of reliever Carson Fulmer from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Strickland was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right shoulder inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland tossed a scoreless frame and registered a strikeout in Sunday's series finale against the Blue Jays, so it's unclear as to when this issue may have flared up. Victor Mederos was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Strickland recorded one out to pick up the save in Monday's 1-0 extra-innings win against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander collected his 30th career save by retiring Anthony Volpe on a groundout. Strickland relieved Brock Burke in the 11th inning after the latter loaded the bases with two outs. There isn't a closer controversy in Anaheim, as Kenley Jansen pitched earlier in this contest when the game was scoreless in the ninth.

The Angels selected Strickland's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander will join the Angels just two weeks after signing with the organization on a minor-league deal. Strickland opened the year in the minors with the Rangers but was granted his release after giving up 14 earned runs in 12 appearances. He was an effective bullpen option for Anaheim last year with a 3.31 ERA and 12 holds over 73.1 innings.

Strickland signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland was released by the Rangers on Tuesday after turning in an 8.22 ERA across 15.1 innings in Triple-A, but it didn't take long for the 36-year-old to find a new landing spot. He'll reunite with the team he spent the 2024 season with while logging a 3.31 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 73.1 frames. He'll likely need to turn things around in the minors before the Halos give him another look in the big leagues, but the instability of Los Angeles' bullpen makes it more probable that the veteran righty gets the call eventually.

The Rangers granted Strickland his release Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander signed a minor-league contract with Texas in March but struggled in 12 appearances with Triple-A Round Rock, as he had an 8.22 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 15.1 innings. Strickland recorded 12 holds with a 3.31 ERA in 72 appearances with the Angels last season, so he could land another minor-league deal.

Strickland signed a minor-league deal with the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers released Strickland from his minor-league contract Friday, but he'll make a quick return to the club. He's likely to open the season with Triple-A Round Rock, though he had a solid 3.31 ERA and 1.09 WHIP to go along with a 57:24 K:BB across 73.1 innings with the Angels in 2024.
