Lagares, 33, signed a free agent contract with the Angels on May 8 and was promoted after seven games in Triple-A, but he batted just .183 in 20 games before being DFA’d.
ANAHEIM ― The list of players who begin each season as the Angels’ fourth outfielder is beginning to resemble the list of Spinal Tap drummers. Not since Ben Revere in 2017 has the primary backup managed to remain with the team from the beginning of the season until the end.
The result each time has been a revolving door of outfielders, young and old, who rarely stay long enough to leave an impression in Anaheim. The door revolved again Friday, when Juan Lagares was designated for assignment and Monte Harrison was promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake. Harrison, 26, hit .213 in 50 games at Triple-A with six home runs, 24 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases in 23 chances. A right-handed hitter, Harrison is a former top prospect who was traded from the Brewers to the Marlins in the 2018 deal that sent Christian Yelich to Milwaukee.
“We’ll work on what his role is going to be,” Manager Phil Nevin said. “Probably a lot like what Juan was.”Nevin declined to announce a starting pitcher for Sunday’s game against the Mariners. Left-hander Marco Gonzales will start for Seattle.
