José Quintana, who struggled as a starter before going on the injured list, has rejoined the Angels’ pitching staff, but it’s not likely that he’s going back into the rotation at this time.
Quintana was activated Monday, but the Angels already have Andrew Heaney and Shohei Ohtani scheduled to start the next two games, which suggests Quintana will pitch out of the bullpen.
The Angels also sent down relievers Chris Rodriguez and Jaime Barria. They will have to make at least one more move before Tuesday’s night’s game to get the active roster back to 26.
Rodriguez was sent to Double-A, where the Angels will stretch him out as a starter. Rodriguez had a 2.30 ERA before going on the injured list with shoulder inflammation in May, but since he returned earlier this month he has allowed four earned runs in four innings.
On Sunday, Rodriguez retired only one of four hitters he faced.
Barria was sent to Triple-A just a couple of days after he was called up to provide innings coverage in the bullpen. He did not pitch during this stint in the big leagues.
Quintana now could be the long man in the bullpen.
The Angels signed Quintana to a one-year $8 million deal over the winter, but he had a 7.22 ERA after nine starts and then went down with shoulder inflammation after his May 30 outing. He has walked 26 in 33-2/3 innings.
When Quintana went on the injured list, Patrick Sandoval stepped into his spot. Sandoval, who previously filled in for Alex Cobb, now has a 3.69 ERA, including a 3.13 mark in six starts.
