Part of the Philadelphia Phillies' return in the Spencer Howard trade is back in the Majors after he was selected by the Los Angeles Angels on Friday.
selected the contract of pitcher Hans Crouse on Friday, a move that put him in position to pitch close to his Dana Point, Calif., hometown.
Los Angeles opted to call him up because with Triple-A Salt Lake he’s posted some of his best minor league numbers since 2018 with the Rangers organization. Crouse left Philadelphia as a free agent after last season. For Philadelphia, Gibson and Kennedy were the key pieces. They sent Crouse to the minors, where he played for Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley until they called him up in late September.
Philadelphia assigned him to Lehigh Valley in 2022 but a triceps injury limited him to five starts, where he went 0-3 with a 15.14 ERA. The Phillies outrighted him in November to make room on their 40-man roster, but he returned in 2023 as a reliever with Class-A Clearwater, Reading and Lehigh Valley.
