The Angels have designated right-hander Carl Edwards Jr. for assignment after a brief stint where he allowed three earned runs in two appearances. Jose Fermin has been called up from Double-A to make his Major League debut, while Jake Eder was promoted from Triple-A and Victor Mederos was optioned to Salt Lake. Fermin, a 23-year-old righty, has a strong minor league record with a 2.93 ERA and impressive strikeout rate, showcasing a powerful fastball and slider, despite minimal Double-A experience.
