The Angels optioned Johnson to High-A Tri-City on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The decision to let Johnson pitch in the majors before playing in a minor-league game hasn't quite turned out the way the Angels had hoped, as the 22-year-old righty owns a miserable 7.36 ERA and 1.98 WHIP through 14.2 innings. He'll now look to hone his craft in the lower levels of the Angels' farm system and could potentially be stretched out as a starter. Shaun Anderson was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the void in Los Angeles' bullpen.

The Angels activated Johnson (personal) from the paternity list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was away for the weekend series against the Guardians, but he will rejoin the bullpen ahead of the Angels' series against the Rays that begins Tuesday. Michael Darrell-Hicks was sent down to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

The Angels placed Johnson on the paternity list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will be allowed to miss up to three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. Caden Dana will come up from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the open spot in Los Angeles' bullpen.

Johnson earned the save in Monday's 5-4 win in extras at St. Louis, allowing an unearned run on one hit. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old rookie was called upon in the 10th inning to secure the victory and accomplished the task on 20 pitches, 13 of which were strikes. Johnson, the 74th overall pick in the 2024, allowed the automatic runner to score via a sacrifice fly but otherwise looked the part of a high-leverage reliever in this outing. However, save chances will likely be rare for Johnson as the Angels' usual closer, Kenley Jansen, pitched in back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday and was given a breather.
