Tayler Saucedo: Everything you need to know

The Angels selected Saucedo's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. Saucedo joined the Halos on a minor-league in February and will get a look in the big leagues after giving up seven earned runs with a 15:11 K:BB over 14.2 innings with Salt Lake. The left-hander made 10 appearances for the Angels last season and had a 7.43 ERA across 13.1 frames.

The Angels signed Saucedo to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training. Saucedo has posted a 4.36 ERA and 112:58 K:BB over 128 frames covering parts of five major-league seasons. The 32-year-old spent most of 2025 in the minors and faces an uphill battle to make the Opening Day roster even in an unsettled Angels bullpen.

The Mariners non-tendered Saucedo on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. The left-hander was designated for assignment by Seattle earlier this week and will now hit the open market. Saucedo gave up 11 earned runs over 10 relief appearances for the Mariners in 2025, so he spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Tacoma.
