DENVER — Moving to shore up their roster after a wave of injuries, the Angels acquired veteran infielder Eduardo Escobar and cash considerations from the New York Mets on Friday in return for minor league pitchers Landon Marceaux and Coleman Crow.
Escobar, a 34-year-old switch-hitter, has spent 13 years in the majors, the last two with the Mets. He was a National League All-Star in 2021. In 40 games with the Mets this season, he has appeared defensively 29 times at third base and nine times at second base. He’s batting .236 with four home runs and 16 RBIs.
Crow and Marceaux, right-handers who had both matriculated to Double-A Rocket City this season, were ranked 19th and 20th in the Angels’ minor league system, respectively, by MLB.com. “We’re going to make it quick, just make sure he feels good and re-evaluate it after that step,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said before Friday’s game. “But things are looking really positive.”
In addition, Nevin said the off-day Thursday had benefited Rendon, who has been dealing with a left wrist contusion.
