The Angels plan to call up right-hander Trevor Bell from triple-A Salt Lake to start Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays in place of Joe Saunders, who recently went on the 15-day disabled list, Angels Manager Mike Scioscia said Monday.
Bell, a 22-year-old Crescenta Valley High graduate, has been working his way up through the Angels’ farm system since 2005 when he was the team’s first draft pick.
“Trevor’s shown the command and stuff that we hope he can do at least, or maybe more, than some guys who are options” elsewhere on the team, Scioscia said Monday before the opening game of a three-game series with Tampa Bay.
