4 years agoLos Angeles Angels right-handed pitcher Julio Teheran will be moved out of the club’s starting rotation amid his early-season struggles, with a role in the bullpen coming his way. Teheran has been clobbered thus far in 2020, yielding 11 runs and four homers in his first eight innings; his .793 xSLG, .497 xwOBA, and .562 xwOBAcon all rank among the lowest one percentile of pitchers in the Majors. Signed to a one-year, $9 million deal in the offseason, the Angels have no long-term ties to Teheran, with manager Joe Maddon likely hoping that the veteran can aid his lacking bullpen which has blown seven of its first 10 save chances. With the shift to the relief corps, Teheran can safely be dropped in all season-long leagues.--Jesse Borek
