Angels Roster Moves, DFA Ryan Noda & Contract News
The Los Angeles Angels announced three roster moves on May 18, 2025. They placed Jose Fermin on the injured list due to an elbow impingement, selected Hunter Strickland from Triple-A Salt Lake, and designated Ryan Noda for assignment. Noda, 29, who was claimed off waivers from the Athletics in November 2024, did not make an appearance with the Angels in 2025 and struggled in Triple-A with a .148 batting average and a high strikeout rate. He previously had a strong rookie season with the Athletics in 2023, hitting .229 with 16 home runs, but faced difficulties in 2024. Noda is now seeking his next opportunity, possibly through a trade or waivers. Meanwhile, Strickland, a veteran reliever, returns to the Angels bullpen after signing earlier this month. The roster moves reflect ongoing adjustments as the Angels aim to improve their team.
