Takes loss against Dodgers Sandoval (0-2) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Dodgers. He allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while fanning five across six innings.

Impact Sandoval was coming off two decent appearances, but he was unable to tame the Dodgers lineup in this one and, as such, he dropped his second consecutive start. Sandoval has given up seven earned runs in 16 innings across his first three starts, and he will aim to bounce back in his next start, set for Aug. 19 on the road against the Giants.

Gets nod in Freeway Series opener Sandoval is slated to start Friday's home game against the Dodgers.

Impact Sandoval was called up from the Angels' alternate site last weekend and turned in a strong start against the Rangers, working six innings and giving up two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four. The outing was enough for manager Joe Maddon to give Sandoval a second turn through the rotation, with the Angels moving Matt Andriese to the bullpen to open up the fifth starter's spot for the young lefty.

Quality start in return Sandoval (0-1) took the loss Saturday, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings as the Angels fell 2-0 to the Rangers. He struck out four.

Impact The southpaw really only made one mistake in his return to the rotation, but mistakes to Joey Gallo tend to wind up in the seats, and this one was no exception. Sandoval threw 94 pitches (58 strikes) in the quality start, and he should be able to avoid another trip back to the Angels' alternate training site after this performance. He'll hope for some more run support in his next outing, a home tilt against the Dodgers on Friday.

Angels recall Luke Bard, option Patrick Sandoval The Angels made a roster move before Wednesday night’s game against the Mariners.

JULY 30, 2020 • HALOSHEAVEN.COM

On track for return next week Teheran (not injury related) is expected to join the Angels sometime next week, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The team hasn't indicated a specific return date for the 29-year-old, but the demotion of sixth-starter Patrick Sandoval to the alternate training site indicates the veteran is nearly ready. Teheran threw a light bullpen session Tuesday and is scheduled for a three-inning outing Thursday. The right-hander figures to be limited to four or five innings early on as he continues to ramp things up after missing most of summer camp.

Sent to alternate site Sandoval was optioned to the Angels' alternate training site Wednesday.

Impact This move comes after Sandoval fired four innings during Tuesday's game against the Mariners, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out four. He'll likely remain stretched out at the team's satellite camp until a starter or long reliever is needed. Luke Bard was summoned to the big club in a corresponding move.

Four innings in season debut Sandoval was charged with two runs (one earned) on four hits over four innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Tuesday. He struck out four and issued one walk.

Impact The lefty was listed as the Angels' sixth starter to begin the year, but he ended up starting the team's fifth game after Matt Andriese was needed for extensive work behind Shohei Ohtani on Sunday. Sandoval held up his end of the bargain, but he was limited to just 62 pitches and did not make it deep enough into the game to qualify for the win. It's uncertain whether Sandoval will continue to start once Julio Teheran is ready to return from the COVID-19 IL.

Looks like sixth starter The Angels list Sandoval as their sixth starter on the season-opening 30-man roster.

Impact Meanwhile, Sandoval's top competition for the final rotation spot, Felix Pena, is listed as a member of the bullpen, effectively confirming that the former will break camp with a starting role. Sandoval's positive COVID-19 test result in late June delayed his arrival at summer camp, but the lefty was able to make up enough ground in the job battle and wrapped up the Angels' exhibition slate by working three innings (51 pitches) and giving up five runs in a loss to the Padres. Look for Sandoval to be limited to around 75 pitches in his first turn of the regular season, which is expected to come July 29 at home versus the Mariners.
