Angels' Ty Buttrey: Sees first action since 2020
Ty Buttrey pitched a perfect inning for Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.Buttrey decided to unretire in the offseason and joined the Los Angeles Angels during camp in March, but he had been on the team's developmental list until Thursday, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Independent baseball writer Taylor Blake Ward notes that Buttrey averaged 92.3 mph on his fastball during Saturday's outing, which is significantly below the mid-to-high 90s velocity he posted during his last few seasons in the majors.
