The Los Angeles Angels have spiraled in August after acquiring assets at the trade deadline, but their bullpen has bounced back after a suboptimal July. This month, Angels relievers are holding opposing hitters to a .215/.306/.359/.664 slash line. That BAA (batting average against) is 9th best amongst MLB bullpens, and the OBP, SLG and OPS are all above average marks as well.
Luckily, the Angels have a major reinforcement on the way to help shore up the unit even more. Unfortunately, the teams' closer is dealing with an injury. It's always one step forward, two steps back with this franchise!
