Angels Select Touki Toussaint – MLB Trade Rumors

The Angels announced a series of roster moves this evening, highlighted by the club’s decision to select the contract of right-hander Touki Toussaint. They also recalled right-hander Michael Darrell-Hicks to the majors. In corresponding moves, southpaw Jake Eder was optioned to Triple-A and left-hander Garrett McDaniels was placed on the 15-day injured list with left biceps tendinitis.

Touissant, 29 next month, signed a minor league deal with the Angels just before Opening Day. Once a consensus top-50 prospect in the sport with Atlanta after being selected in the first round of the 2014 draft by the Diamondbacks, Toussaint showed some promise in 2018 with a a 4.03 ERA and 3.78 FIP in his first 29-inning cup of coffee. In the six years since then, things have only gone downhill for Toussaint. The right-hander has spent his twenties bouncing between the Braves, Angels, Guardians, and White Sox organizations with well below average results at every stop along the way.

Since the end of that solid rookie season, he’s pitched to a lackluster 5.55 ERA with a 5.34 FIP. He’s struck out 22.7% of batters faced during that time but has combined that decent strikeout rate with a brutal 13.8% walk rate. More advanced metrics are equally skeptical of Toussaint’s abilities as a big leaguer, as shown by his career 4.88 SIERA. His most recent stint in the majors came last season with the White Sox, for whom Toussaint posted an eye-popping 7.43 ERA while walking 15.4% of his opponents. His stint in Chicago last year wound up lasting only 23 innings, but now he’s poised to return to the majors for a second stint in Anaheim.

Toussaint’s return to the majors comes at a time when the Angels have lost 15 of their last 19 games, skidding from a promising start early in the season to the second-worst record in the American League. Much of those struggles can be attributed to the pitching staff, which is bottom-three in ERA (5.22) and dead last in FIP (5.09). Toussaint figures to be tasked with helping out in a long relief capacity. While the right-hander has been lackluster all throughout his major league career, improving on the Halos’ current 6.60 bullpen ERA should be a fairly easy task for Toussaint to accomplish.

He’ll be joined in that effort by Darrell-Hicks, a 27-year-old who made his MLB debut with the Angels earlier this year. Darrell-Hicks already has a 6.75 ERA in 5 2/3 innings of work from his first five-appearance cup of coffee with the club in April. That actually matches his 6.75 ERA in 10 2/3 frames at Triple-A this year. Despite his lackluster performance in 2025, Darrell-Hicks turned in a fantastic season between Double- and Triple-A last year, with a 2.60 ERA and a 26.4% strikeout rate across 62 1/3 innings. The right-hander could be more of an asset in his latest call-up if he can pitch more like he did last season, though that’s of course no guarantee.

Departing the roster to make room for the new additions are Eder and McDaniels. Eder, once a well-regarded prospect in the Marlins system who went on to get traded to the White Sox in the Jake Burger deal before being dealt to Anaheim for cash, has a 7.71 ERA in three appearances for the Angels this year. McDaniels, meanwhile, made his MLB debut earlier this year and so far has a 5.91 ERA in ten appearances. McDaniels will be down for at least the next two weeks, while Eder heads to the minors to wait for his next big league opportunity.
