Shoemaker is in the mix for the fifth spot in the Angels' rotation this spring, the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll compete with Hector Santiago, Tyler Skaggs, and Nick Tropeano, and it's possible that another spot will become available if injury befalls one of the team's top-four starters. Shoemaker is out of minor league options, which should steer him into a long-relief role if he fails to secure his place among the team's core starters this spring.
