The Angels
selected Johnson's contract Tuesday.
ANALYSISNow that Johnson has officially been added to the Angels' 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, he'll become the first player since
Garrett Crochet in 2020 to reach the majors without appearing in a minor-league game. Johnson, 22, is likely to work in middle relief while he familiarizes himself with MLB hitters, but his 10:1 K:BB in 11.1 Cactus League innings is evidence that he has the tools to appear in high-leverage situations down the line.
Jose Quijada was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
