Sandoval allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out eight over five innings Monday against the Reds. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval entered the contest with a 5-0 deficit, but after surrendering a pair of runs in the second, he was able to settle down. He went on to fire four scoreless frames before his night came to and end. Considering the current injuries to Los Angeles' starting rotation, there's a good chance Sandoval will see another turn, especially following a strong showing.

Sandoval had his contract purchased from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of his scheduled outing Monday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Sandoval is slated to make his major-league debut as the primary pitcher behind opener Taylor Cole on Monday. The 22-year-old southpaw owns a 6.41 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 66:35 K:BB in 15 starts (60.1 innings) with Salt Lake this season. Luke Bard (triceps) was placed on the 10-day IL, while Felix Pena (knee) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a pair of corresponding roster moves.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval was scratched from Saturday's start for Salt Lake and will instead make his way to the majors for his big-league debut. The 22-year-old was promoted to Triple-A in early May but has struggled in the Pacific Coast League with a 6.41 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 66:35 K:BB through 60.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval had a 2.06 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 145:29 K:BB over 122.1 innings last season as he worked his way from Low-A to the Double-A level by the end of the season. The 22-year-old had a 3.60 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 20 innings at Double-A Mobile this season, and has been a fast-rising prospect for the Angels since being acquired from the Astros for Martin Maldonado last July.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval will make his debut for the BayBears on Thursday against the Biloxi Shuckers. The 21-year-old southpaw, who was acquired from the Astros in exchange for Martin Maldonado near the end of July, tossed 14.2 scoreless innings in three appearances for High-A Inland Empire before earning a promotion. Sandoval allowed just six hits and six walks while striking out 21 over that stretch.

EDGE Analysis

In addition, the Angels received international bonus pool money. Sandoval was moved up to the High-A level in late June, where he's logged a 2.74 ERA and 0.70 WHIP with 26 strikeouts across 23 innings of work. The 21-year-old holds a career 3.88 ERA over 215.2 innings in the minors, which is made up of 52 appearances (38 starts). He will likely continue his 2018 campaign with the Angels' High-A affiliate.
