The Los Angeles Angels selected the contract of right-hander Shaun Anderson from Triple-A Salt Lake in advance of Sunday's series finale against the Houston Astros.

To make room on the active roster, the Angels optioned right-hander Walbert Urena, while right-hander Victor Mederos was designated for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster.

Anderson, 31, was 1-0 with a 10.32 ERA in seven appearances with the Angels last season and had a 5.27 ERA over nine spring training appearances with the club. In parts of six major league seasons with eight different clubs, he is 4-7 with a 6.39 ERA in 76 appearances (18 starts).

Urena, 22, made his major league debut Thursday then gave up six unearned runs over one inning Saturday against the Astros.

Mederos, 24, had 12 appearances (three starts) for the Angels since 2023 and went 0-3 with an 8.53 ERA.

The Angels also traded left-hander Jayvien Sandridge to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday for cash considerations. Sandridge, a 27-year-old who was born in Maryland, has one major league appearance and it came with the New York Yankees last season.

Sandridge was designated for assignment by the Angels in advance of Opening Day.
