Angels recall RHP José Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake, designate RHP Connor Brogdon for assignment
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels have recalled right-hander José Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake and designated righty Connor Brogdon for assignment. Los Angeles made the moves Sunday before playing the Athletics. The 23-year-old Fermin was 2-2 with a 6.63 ERA in 23 games, entering the series finale against the Athletics. He was previously optioned to the minors after giving up three runs without retiring a batter in a game last month. The 30-year-old Brodgon gave up two runs on two hits and two walks after retiring just two batters in the Angels' loss on Saturday. Brogdon is 3-1 with a 5.30 ERA in 37 games this season. His career record is 13-9 with a 4.24 ERA in 180 games with the Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia. The fourth-place Angels lead only the Athletics in the in the AL West. ___ AP MLB:

Astros' Yordan Alvarez to start rehab assignment at Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez will begin a rehabilitation assignment at Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, moving him closer to a return after sitting out for more than three months. 'It's really good news,' manager Joe Espada said. 'The fact that he's feeling better and we're getting to a point where we can see him back is awesome.' Alvarez has been out since May 3 with a small fracture in his right hand that was initially diagnosed as a muscle strain. Alvarez was in Houston on Sunday before the team's series finale against Baltimore after returning from the Astros' spring training facility in Florida, giving Espada a chance to talk with him. 'He is feeling better,' Espada said. 'Good enough to start a rehabilitation assignment.' Espada said Alvarez would need 'a few games before joining our club' but when pressed about exactly how many games or at-bats the left-hander would need, he declined to give further details. 'We're going to start with Tuesday and then we'll go from there,' he said. Espada said Alvarez would serve as the team's designated hitter Tuesday. The return of Alvarez would be a major boost to the Astros as the postseason approaches after he led the team in batting average (.308), home runs (35) and RBIs (86) last season. Houston entered Sunday leading the AL West with a 1 1/2-game lead over the Mariners. The 28-year-old Alvarez hit .210 with three homers and 18 RBIs in 29 games this season before his injury. ___ AP MLB:
