What's Happening?
The Los Angeles Angels have outrighted pitcher Jose Quijada to Triple-A Salt Lake after he cleared waivers. Quijada, a left-handed reliever, was designated for assignment earlier but will remain within the Angels organization. This season, Quijada has made two appearances for the team, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings. The decision to move him to Triple-A allows the Angels to retain him while potentially providing him with more playing time and development opportunities at the minor league level.

Why It's Important?
Quijada's move to Triple-A is a strategic decision by the Angels to manage their roster while keeping a promising player within the organization. His ability to pitch scoreless innings in his limited appearances suggests potential value as a reliever. By placing him in Triple-A, the Angels can offer him more consistent playing time, which could aid in his development and readiness for future major league opportunities. This move also reflects the team's broader strategy in managing player assignments and optimizing their bullpen strength.
