The Los Angeles Angels are set to make MLB history with the promotion of left-hander Samuel Aldegheri, who will become the first player born and raised in Italy to appear in a major league game when he starts against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Aldegheri, 22, was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies at the trade deadline and has shown promise with a 3.59 ERA in 19 starts this season. In addition, the Angels are calling up 20-year-old right-hander Caden Dana, their top prospect, to start on Sunday, showcasing the team's focus on youth amid a disappointing season. Both promotions reflect the Angels' strategy of advancing young talent rapidly to the majors, following the earlier debuts of other prospects like Zach Neto and Nolan Schanuel. Aldegheri's journey began when he signed with the Phillies for $210,000 in 2019, while Dana has impressed with a 2.52 ERA at Double-A this season. The Angels currently hold a 54-79 record, sitting last in the American League West.
