Sandoval threw a bullpen session Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval is a little behind the rest of his teammates as he was late reporting to camp for undisclosed reasons, but it's good to know he is at least throwing and ramping up. Sandoval seems likely to open the year in a six-man rotation, although he may not be stretched out enough to have an unrestricted workload in his first start of the season.

Sandoval will need some time to catch up to his teammates, as he was unable to report to camp until Thursday due to undisclosed reasons, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval is a candidate to be part of the Angels' six-man rotation this season, but with Opening Day less than two weeks away, it's possible he won't be able to handle a full workload for the first few weeks of the campaign. If he does eventually make some starts this season, he'll be at least a moderately interesting option, as his 5.03 ERA in 39.1 innings as a 22-year-old rookie last season came with a decent 4.02 xFIP. His strikeout rate (24.9 percent) and groundball rate (46.6 percent) were both slightly better than league average.

Manager Joe Maddon said Sandoval reported to camp Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval has officially joined the Angels for workouts after missing the start of summer camp for undisclosed reasons. The southpaw, who posted a 5.03 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB over 39.1 innings as a rookie last season, is a candidate to serve as the team's sixth starter during the shortened 2020 season.

Sandoval has yet to report to the Angels' camp for undisclosed reasons, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Joe Maddon revealed Sandoval as one of three Angels who have yet to report to camp as of Tuesday, but he was unable to provide a reason behind their absence. It's unclear when Sandoval will rejoin the team or whether his absence will affect his availability for the start of the regular season. The southpaw is a candidate to serve as a No. 6 starter for Los Angeles during the abbreviated 2020 campaign.

Sandoval is a candidate to remain a starter as manager Joe Maddon said he plans to utilize a six-man rotation this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old appeared set to begin 2020 in the starting rotation with Shohei Ohtani (elbow) and Griffin Canning (elbow) unavailable to pitch in the spring, but both should be ready for the delayed Opening Day next month. However, since Ohtani will remain on a once-per-week pitching schedule, Sandoval should still have a chance to retain a spot in Maddon's six-man rotation. Sandoval made his big-league debut in 2019 and posted a 5.03 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB over 39.1 innings (10 appearances).

Sandoval is among a number of pitchers vying for a spot at the back end of the Angels' rotation, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval appeared to boost his chance of breaking camp with the Angels after a solid spring in which he posted a 3.60 ERA and 5:3 K:BB across five innings. However, the delay to the start of the regular season could mean less available rotation spots as both Shohei Ohtani (elbow) and Griffin Canning (elbow) could feasibly return to health in time for Opening Day. Sandoval's likelihood of making the big-league squad is also compromised by the fact that he still has minor-league options remaining.

Sandoval missed the "first few days" of training camp due to an illness, but he was able to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval's illness appears to be behind him as he reportedly no longer feels sick. The southpaw could compete for the fifth spot in the Angels' rotation, though the most likely scenario is that he starts the season in Triple-A.

Sandoval (0-4) allowed one run on two hits and three walks over 3.1 innings in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Astros. He struck out three batters.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval's only mistake was a second-inning solo shot from Alex Bregman. Sandoval has found it hard to end up on the right side of decisions given his limited innings, as he's only pitched long enough to qualify for a win twice. The 22-year-old will end the season with a 5.03 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 42 strikeouts over 39.1 innings.

Sandoval didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Astros, giving up three runs on two hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie was staked to a 3-0 lead before he set foot on the mound, but Sandoval then gave up three runs of his own in the bottom of the second inning and received the hook shortly afterwards. He's scheduled for one more outing in 2019, and he'll take a 5.25 ERA and 39:16 K:BB through 36 innings into a home rematch with Houston on Friday.

Sandoval allowed one run on two hits and a walk over four innings Sunday, striking out four in the win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing a run in the first inning, Sandoval kept the Rays quiet for the rest of his outing. It was the first time this month that he finished at least four innings but he's allowed one or fewer runs in three of his last four outings. He'll face a dangerous Astros lineup in Houston on Saturday.
