Angels recall Caden Dana, DFA fellow RHP Shaun Anderson
May 25 - The Los Angeles Angels recalled right-hander Caden Dana from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and designated right-hander Shaun Anderson for assignment.
The move is not surprising, as the Angels seek to add available arms to a depleted bullpen. Flamethrower Ben Joyce underwent season-ending shoulder surgery, and veteran Robert Stephenson is still completing his rehab assignment.
Anderson, 30, had a 6.30 ERA and 10 strikeouts across 10 innings of work. He earned a win against the Los Angeles Dodgers last Sunday; in 2 2/3 innings, he gave up one earned run, one hit, and no walks, while striking out three.
Dana is ranked as the organization's No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline. He was called up earlier this season for a relief appearance, pitching three innings and allowing two runs, four hits, and one walk to go along with two strikeouts.
The 21-year-old standout had a 2.52 ERA in 135 2/3 innings at Double-A Rocket City last season and has options. This season, he is 3-4 with a 5.21 ERA in eight starts at Salt Lake.
"He'll be our long guy out of the bullpen if we need him in that situation," Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters of Dana. "That's the way we will use him, because he has length. We needed length, so that's what he's here to do. If something happens in the second inning, he could take the game all the way to the end, and that's what we needed. And he was available. It was his time to pitch, so we brought him up."
Despite the bullpen uncertainty, the Angels (25-25) have been on fire, winning eight straight games entering Saturday night's game against the Miami Marlins.

‘Then I'm going fishing' – Dustin Johnson confirms when he'll retire as former US Open winner
DUSTIN JOHNSON has opened up on his retirement plans - just days ahead of chasing a third major title. The former World No. 1 is enduring a tough run in both the majors and LIV Golf. 2 2 Johnson, 40, has missed five of his last seven cuts in the majors. DJ shot an error-strewn +12 across his two rounds at last month's USPGA Championship. It followed another disappointing performance at the Masters, with the 2020 winner missing the weekend. Johnson has failed to finish in the top three in any LIV Golf event on his last 20 starts. He joined the Saudi-backed league in 2022 and has raked in over £50million in prize money. Johnson's former coach Butch Harmon recently questioned if the American was still committed to golf. Speaking to AP, Johnson said: "I think I've got another six years in me "I can grind for another six years. And then I'm going fishing." Johnson is preparing for the US Open later this week at Oakmont Country Club. The 40-year-old has been paired with Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm in his round one group. Jack Nicklaus stunned as Rory McIlroy ghosts Memorial Tournament host and golf legend ahead of PGA Tour Signature event And DJ believes he's close to rediscovering his form after a tenth-placed finish at LIV Virginia last week. Johnson said: "I feel like my game's been really close. "I haven't really got a lot out of it. So it was definitely nice to have a nice finish last week [in Virginia]. I played good every day. "I was still kind of giving away some shots. I need to clean that up a little bit. Who are golf's most famous Wags?

US Open golf 2025: Free Bets – Exclusive offers, tips, odds and bonus deals
THE 125th US Open tees off this Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. It's a familiar story, with defending champion Bryson DeChambeau and Masters winner Rory McIlroy both looking to stop favourite Scottie Scheffler, who arrives in red-hot form after winning three of his last four tournaments. SunSport's betting experts have taken a closer look at the tournament to provide you with the best bets, exclusive offers, bonus deals and amazing price boosts.

US Open 2025 tips and predictions Our man in Oakmont, Dave Facey, has provided his top tips and best bets for the 2025 US Open. You can read his full article HERE Bryson DeChambeau is second favourite this week at a best-priced 7-1, and the defending champion makes plenty of appeal. DeChambeau won the first of his two US Open titles on another course flanked by gouge-it-out rough - at Winged Foot in 2020. His policy of making sure he is fairly close to the green if he finds the rough stuff could pay dividends again. And the big bomber actually hits it straighter than he did four years ago. After contending in both the Masters and the USPGA- making it five top six finishes in the last half a dozen Majors - there is no reason to think he will not be in the mix again here. Jon Rahm 's final placing at the USPGA - a share of 8th - did not reflect how well he played at Quail Hollow, especially in the closing round. Rahm briefly drew level with Scheffler on the back nine, before the need to keep taking risks finally caught up with him. The Spaniard was clearly the second best player on view. But he dropped down the field by frittering away a few shots at the end, although he was clearly deflated by then. There has been plenty of talk that playing on the LIV circuit has blunted Rahm's competitive edge. But he certainly looked pumped up for the USPGA. At 12-1, he also provides each way security.
