Ryan

Aguilar

Aguilar made it into seven contests last season for the Angels, but has been cut loose after batting .169/.313/.231 with one homer and two steals across 22 games this season for Double-A Rocket City. The 28-year-old outfielder is merely organizational depth, if he winds up finding another opportunity somewhere else.

Aguilar got his first call-up with the big club in September, but went just 3-for-22 with a double and 14 strikeouts. The 28-year-old had a great year in Double-A, posting a .272/.415/.491 batting line with 15 home runs and 11 steals over 93 games. He’ll give the Angels some outfield depth headed into camp in the spring.

The 27-year-old was designated for assignment on Friday after going just 3-for-22 during his limited action with the big league club. He’ll continue to function as additional outfield depth for the Angels at Triple-A.

They needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Michael Lorenzen’s return. Aguilar went just 3-for-22 at the plate during his short time with the big club.

The 23-year-old has continued to struggle in his opportunities with the big league club, slashing a mere .225/.271/.370 with six homers, 20 RBI, four stolen bases and a 78/10 K/BB ratio over 215 plate appearances. Ryan Aguilar will start in his place in left field and bat eighth for the Halos against Lance McCullers and the Astros on Friday evening in Los Angeles.

Aguilar, a 27-year-old native of Orange County, has exploded to the tune of a .944 OPS with 15 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 88 games this season at the Double-A level. He joined the Blue Jays in Toronto last weekend and went 2-for-11 in his first taste of MLB action.

Aguilar was up as a sub for the Angels’ contingent of unvaccinated players over the weekend in Toronto. He went 2-for-11 at the plate during his brief stay.

He’ll be taking the place of Taylor Ward on the Angels roster, as Ward is unvaccinated and can’t travel to Toronto. It’s the first trip to the show for the 27-year-old. Aguilar was hitting .280/.427/.517 with 15 homers, 48 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 88 games at Double-A.

Aguilar will join the Angels before their three-game weekend series in Toronto to help replace a group of unvaccinated players. The soon-to-be 28-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder has never appeared in a major league game, but he boasts a .944 OPS with 15 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 88 games (342 plate appearances) this season with the Double-A Rocket City Trash Pandas.

Aguilar spent the last six seasons in the Brewers’ minor-league system after being selected in the 31st round back in 2016. The 27-year-old outfielder hit .146/.286/.249 with six homers and nine stolen bases across 258 plate appearances at Double-A Biloxi last season.
