The Angels non-tendered Sandoval on Friday. Sandoval underwent an internal brace surgery after tearing the UCL in his left elbow in late June, an injury that will take a full year to recover from. Despite a poor 5.08 ERA across 16 starts in 2024 prior to his injury, Sandoval could stick around with the Angels to continue his rehab program, though he might draw interest from a team looking to add a southpaw to its rotation.

Sandoval (elbow) underwent successful internal brace surgery Wednesday to repair the UCL in his left elbow, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Sandoval was diagnosed with a high-grade flexor tear and a torn UCL in his left elbow after departing early from his start against the Dodgers on June 21. The left-hander is expected to miss at least a full year of action due to the injury, but because he had the internal brace procedure rather than Tommy John surgery, he could be able to shave a couple of months off his recovery timeline and return at some point after the All-Star break in 2025.

The Angels transferred Sandoval (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. Sandoval was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his left elbow Monday and is expected to miss at least a full calendar year. He'll trade places on the 60-day IL with Chase Silseth (elbow), who was activated and optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Sandoval was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left elbow strain. Sandoval's move to the IL comes after he was lifted in the third inning of his start Friday against the Dodgers with what was initially labeled left forearm tightness. While he's eligible to return from the IL on July 7, the Angels could opt to play it safe with the 27-year-old and hold him out until the All-Star break. Guillermo Zuniga was called up from Triple-A Salt in a corresponding move, though he'll head to the bullpen and won't be a replacement in the rotation for Sandoval.

Sandoval left Friday's start against the Dodgers with an apparent injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Sandoval walked Shohei Ohtani in the third inning and motioned to the dugout immediately afterward. He exited the game with trainers, though the exact nature of the issue remains unclear.
