Angels Place Tyler Anderson on Injured List, Sign Jose Ureña to Rotation

The Los Angeles Angels have placed starting pitcher Tyler Anderson on the 15-day injured list due to a strained left oblique, an injury likely to end his 2025 season. Anderson, who has struggled this year with a 2-8 record and a 4.56 ERA, last pitched five scoreless innings despite discomfort. To fill the roster spot, the Angels signed right-hander Jose Ureña, a journeyman who has played for five different MLB teams this season and posted a 5.00 ERA over 36 innings. Ureña could serve as a starter or bullpen option as the Angels face rotation shortages following Anderson's injury and other roster moves. The Angels' rotation, previously stable, now faces significant challenges with multiple vacancies and uncertain timelines for replacements. Interim manager Ray Montgomery indicated more clarity on rotation plans would come after upcoming games.
