Angels Call Up Reliever Luke Murphy for First MLB Stint
The 26-year-old righty joins the Angels bullpen after posting a 0.71 ERA in 38 innings at Double-A Rocket City this season.
The Angels officially selected Luke Murphy's contract on July 31, giving the 26-year-old right-hander his first MLB call-up. Murphy dominated Double-A this year with a 0.71 ERA across 34 appearances, striking out 32% of batters. The move fills a bullpen vacancy created by the trade of Chase Silseth to Texas. Murphy skips Triple-A entirely after a rough 23-game stretch there last season.
