Rotowire
The Angels recalled Mederos from High-A Tri City on Sunday.
Mederos spent most of the campaign in Double-A Rocket City's starting rotation, but he moved to Tri City for his last outing. The right-hander hasn't pitched well at either level, as he allowed six runs at High-A and has a 6.60 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 69:48 K:BB across 88.2 innings at Double-A. He'll likely serve as a long-relief option while he's up with the big club.

Angels' Victor Mederos: Slated for big-league promotion
Rotowire
Mederos will be called up by the Angels prior to Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.
The 22-year-old right-hander has just a 5.98 ERA in 12 starts this season with Double-A Rocket City, although it's worth noting that he's used the pre-tacked balls many pitchers in the Southern League have had issues with, and Mederos has fanned 71 over 55.2 innings for the Trash Pandas. It's not clear at this point whether the plan is to use him as a reliever or starter. He'll be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.
