Rotowire

Selman was brought up by the A's earlier in the week, but he will head back to the minors with fellow pitcher Kirby Snead rejoining the roster. Selman struck out five batters while tossing 2.2 scoreless innings in Friday's loss to the Rangers, so he should garner consideration next time the A's need to add a reliever to the roster.

Angels' Sam Selman: Rejoins Angels
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Selman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
Selman returns to the big leagues three days after being sent down. Having allowed four runs (three earned) in his most recent appearance, the lefty is unlikely to pitch in high-leverage relief situations, although he could potentially make a spot start in place of Jaime Barria (shoulder).

Angels' Sam Selman: Struggles in Angels debut
Rotowire
Selman allowed one run on two hits, a hit batsman and a walk while retiring only one batter Sunday against Oakland.
The left-handed hurler got into his first game since being traded to the Angels on Friday. It was also his first big-league outing since May 25, as he had been pitching in the minors for the Giants prior to the trade. Selman struggled Sunday, throwing only 11 of 21 pitches for strikes, though that was partly due to a free pass issued to Matt Olson. He allowed the first four batters he faced to reach base before getting Yan Gomes to pop out to end the inning. If he sticks with the big club, Selman is unlikely to see much high-leverage work considering his lack of experience in that role thus far in his career.

Angels' Sam Selman: Added to active roster
Rotowire
Selman was added to the Angels' active roster Saturday.
Selman had been in the minors since late May while with his old organization, but he'll be a member of the big-league bullpen after coming over in a trade from the Giants at the deadline. The 30-year-old lefty is unlikely to fill a high-leverage role, as he owns a mediocre 4.06 ERA in 37.2 career major-league innings.
