Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a minor-league contract with the Angels in January of 2026.
Could make spring debut Sunday
Sandlin (elbow) is listed among the Angels' available relievers for Sunday's Cactus League game against the Rockies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
The Angels haven't confirmed that Sandlin will pitch Sunday, but his inclusion on the lineup card nonetheless indicates that he's fully ramped back up after he was eased along during the first few weeks of spring training while he recovered from an offseason arthroscopic procedure on his right elbow. Since he's attending camp as a non-roster invitee, Sandlin likely won't have sufficient time to stake a claim to a spot in the Angels' Opening Day bullpen, but he could put himself in the mix for an early call-up if he pitches effectively at Triple-A Salt Lake to begin the season.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The 67th overall pick in the 2018 draft was dominant when last fully healthy in 2019 with a 1.56 ERA and 14.2 K/9 at Double-A. Sandlin had forearm surgery in July 2019 and didn't pitch in a game in 2020. He did return to pitch at Cleveland's alternative site last season. The sidewinder will likely need to show he's healthy at Triple-A before getting a shot at the majors.
