The LA Angels have used their minor league system a lot this season due to numerous injuries and also in-season trades. Twenty players on the current 40-man roster were not there at the beginning of the season. Of these 20 players some of them have been with the Angels since early-to-mid April such as Justin Anderson and Jaime Barria who were called upon early due to injuries to Keynan Middleton, Blake Wood, Matt Shoemaker, and J.C. Ramirez. Three of those players were lost for the season due to torn UCL’s with only Shoemaker returning to the team just this week.
