Nelson Rada went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two walks as Triple-A Salt Lake’s left fielder on Sunday.

If the Angels still have high hopes for the 21-year-old Rada, they’re not really showing it while batting him sixth and playing him in a corner in Triple-A. He ends the year at .278/.376/.362 with three homers and 43 steals. It’s a lot more difficult to imagine him making it in the majors as a platoon starter against righties if he’s not a center fielder.

Angels reassigned OF Nelson Rada to minor league camp.

Rada, 20, is coming off a season where he stole 54 bases with a .292/.398/.360 slash while reaching Triple-A. He’ll likely make his debut with the Angels in 2026, and the speed makes him a little intriguing even if he won’t hit for much power.

Angels optioned HP Sam Aldegheri, OF Gustavo Campero, RHP Caden Dana, LHP Jack Dashwood and INF Niko Kavadas to Triple-A Salt Lake and reassigned RHP Connor Brogdon, RHP Michael Darrell-Hicks, RHP José Fermin, INF Cole Fontenelle, LHP Victor González, INF Denzer Guzman, INF Carter Kieboom, RHP George Klassen, LHP Samy Natera, OF Nelson Rada and C Sebastián Rivero to minor league camp.

A plethora of cuts for the Angels, but it’s that time, folks. Dana is the biggest name to be moved, as he was battling for one of the final spots in the rotation. Instead, he’ll head to the PCL, but all but assuredly make starts with Los Angeles by the end of the year. Kieboom is the most notable name to be reassigned among those not on the 40-man roster as a former top prospect who just hasn’t hit enough to justify an MLB career yet.
