Outrighted to Salt Lake
Plesac cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.
ANALYSIS
The Angels designated Plesac for assignment Monday, but the 29-year-old righty will remain with the organization after passing through waivers. He has turned in a 4.66 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through his first two Triple-A starts, and some improvement will likely be necessary before he gets another opportunity in the majors.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Close to deal with Angels
Plesac is close to reaching an agreement with the Angels, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The details of the contract are not known at this time. Plesac battled through a dreadful 2023 campaign, posting a 7.59 ERA in five starts with the Guardians and a 6.08 ERA at Triple-A Columbus. The 28-year-old did hold a solid 4.04 ERA and 1.19 WHIP from 2019-22, so the Angels are hoping he could bounce back to serve as some respectable rotation depth.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
2020
Another year, another fluke injury -- Plesac missed time in 2022 after breaking his hand while punching the mound after yielding three home runs in Seattle. Opposing hitters continue to feast on his fastball, tagging him for a .306 batting average and eight home runs on the pitch he threw 42.7 percent of the time last year. His slider and curveball were his two best pitches, but he's still struggled to make up for mediocre velocity with effective swing-and-miss stuff, posting a 6.8 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 over 131.2 innings. He finished last year in the 21st percentile for whiff percentage. While his passion is evident from frustration-related injuries, the end results put him as the No. 4 or 5 starter in the Guardians' rotation and a low-upside, late-round pick in fantasy.
