TEMPE, Ariz. —
Joe Maddon announced that Dylan Bundy will be the Angels’ opening-day starter when the team begins its season April 1 against the Chicago White Sox.
For Bundy, a 28-year-old right-hander entering his second season with the Angels, it will be the second time in his career to start on opening day. He previously opened the 2018 season for the Baltimore Orioles.
“I could praise him all day,” Maddon said. “There’s a lot of reasons why you like Dylan Bundy as your opening-day starter.”
A once highly touted prospect who was drafted by the Orioles fourth overall in 2011, the early years of Bundy’s career were derailed by injuries.
