The right-hander joins the Angels’ bullpen after three impressive starts with Triple-A Salt Lake. Jo Adell and Jhonathan Diaz are sent back to Triple-A.
ANAHEIM ― Davis Daniel’s 25th birthday celebration began with a call from his manager at Triple-A Salt Lake, Lou Marson, late Friday night in Oklahoma City. It was the best gift a minor league manager can give a player. By Saturday morning, Daniel was on a flight to California, where he would join the Angels’ bullpen for their Saturday night game against the New York Mets.
“It’s something that you want to expect but you never expect it until it happens,” Daniel said. “Getting that call in the middle of the night is not when I expected it. It all worked out the way it was supposed to.” Overall, Daniel limited Triple-A left-handers to a .219 batting average and .625 OPS this season. Righties had a .262 average and .824 OPS against him.
When Adell last packed for Salt Lake on May 3, Phil Nevin was the team’s third base coach. Now, as interim manager, Nevin made the most of his conversation with the 23-year-old outfielder.
