US EditionAngels’ Robert Stephenson Hopes to Finish Season Healthy
- On Friday, the Los Angeles Angels reinstated reliever Robert Stephenson from the 60-day injured list and optioned right-hander Chase Silseth to Triple-A Salt Lake.
- Earlier this year, Robert Stephenson went on the injured list after May 31 with right biceps inflammation, having missed all of last year rehabbing Tommy John surgery.
- Stephenson joined the Halos on a three-year deal going into 2024 and has thrown one scoreless inning over two appearances this season.
- The Halos have dropped five games under.500 and will hope Stephenson aids them in the final five weeks, as Los Angeles recently opened spots on the 40-man roster.
- Looking ahead, the club retains a conditional $2.5MM club option for 2027 tied to Robert Stephenson's elbow injury, and Stephenson and Brock Burke may be the only locks for next year's season-opening bullpen, contingent on Stephenson staying healthy after two injury-wrecked years.
