Fermin earned a hold against the Royals on Wednesday with a perfect inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

After Yusei Kikuchi was pulled from the contest due to a left forearm cramp, Fermin took over in the sixth inning and retired all three batters he faced on 11 pitches. The right-hander has been effective since his most recent call-up from the minors Aug. 17, registering a 1.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB over 14.1 innings spanning 16 appearances. Fermin has recorded a modest six holds over 39 outings this season, but he's picked up a hold in each of his past two games.

The Angels recalled Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles designated right-hander Connor Brogdon for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Fermin. Over his prior two stints with the big club this season, the 23-year-old Fermin turned in a 6.63 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB in 19 innings. The right-hander will likely handle a low-leverage role out of the Angels bullpen.

The Angels optioned Fermin to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fermin has hit a rough patch of late, allowing 11 runs (nine earned) over his last three innings. He could get another shot with the big club later this season, but for now the reliever will try to work out the kinks at Salt Lake.

The righty reliever dealt with a right elbow impingement in May but was activated from a stint on the IL on June 6 and posted a 9:2 K:BB across 5.1 frames with Salt Lake between then and his call-up Saturday. To make room for Fermin on the 26-man roster, veteran reliever Hector Neris was designated for assignment.

The Angels reinstated Fermin (elbow) from the injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

A right elbow impingement sent Fermin to the injured list in mid-May, but after making two rehab appearances in rookie ball, he's been given the green light to rejoin the Halos' bullpen. The 23-year-old rookie has given up five earned runs in 7.2 MLB innings and isn't likely to be used in high-leverage situations.

Fermin (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Fermin landed on the 15-day injured list May 15 due to a right elbow impingement. He was able to begin a throwing program last week and has progressed enough in his recovery to embark on a rehab assignment, making an early-June activation off the IL a possibility. Fermin posted a 5.87 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB across 7.2 innings prior to his injury.
