The Angels bullpen is beginning to slip, and the relievers are showing that their stellar June performance was more anomalous rather than who they are. The unit is not in an absolute tailspin, but they are dipping and could absolutely use reinforcements especially since they are tied for the most innings pitched this month. In July, the unit has a 4.95 ERA (MLB rank: 21st), 5.42 FIP (MLB rank: 23rd), 1.35 WHIP (MLB rank: 18th), 2.02 HR/9 (MLB rank: 25th), 57.2% first pitch strike percentage (MLB rank: 25th) and opposing hitters have a .774 OPS (MLB rank: 21st).
Like it is every year, the MLB relief pitcher market is robust and will be active.
