Paredes will make his first trip to the big leagues Friday, after the Angels recalled him from Triple-A Salt Lake.
In a corresponding move, the team sent C.J. Cron down to Salt Lake, giving Paredes a chance to show off his stuff at the major-league level. The 22-year-old has posted a 2.00 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP in the minors this season, to go along with a 43:15 K:BB in 36 innings of relief. He will serve as depth in the bullpen for the Halos moving forward.
