Rotowire
The Angels reinstated Zuniga (pectoral) from the 15-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Zuniga made four appearances with the Angels before being placed on the injured list April 8 due to a right pectoral strain.

Angels' Guillermo Zuniga: Starts up rehab assignment
Rotowire
Zuniga (pectoral) began a rehab assignment Monday with the Angels' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, recording two outs while striking out one and allowing one hit.
Though he didn't issue any walks, Zuniga was a bit wild in his first rehab outing, as he hit a batter and threw a wild pitch. Given that he's been on the shelf since April 8 with a right pectoral strain, Zuniga will likely require a handful of appearances at multiple minor-league affiliates before he returns from the 15-day injured list.

Angels' Guillermo Zuniga: Grabs first career save
Rotowire
Zuniga picked up the save Wednesday against the Marlins, recording a strikeout over three perfect innings.
After struggling in his last appearance, allowing three runs in one inning versus the Orioles, Zuniga turned in an impressive bounce-back performance in Miami, throwing three perfect innings to close out a 10-2 victory and earn the first save of his MLB career. Zuniga's made just five appearances in the big leagues over the past two seasons with Anaheim and St. Louis -- he struggled to a 7.63 ERA across 30.2 innings in Triple-A last year. The 25-year-old right-hander will likely remain a low-leverage option for the Angels going forward.

Angels' Guillermo Zuniga: Earns bullpen spot
Rotowire
Zuniga earned the final bullpen spot on the Angels' roster, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Zuniga gave up seven earned runs over 9.2 innings during Cactus League play, but he will remain in the majors to begin his first season with the Angels. The right-hander spent most of last season with the Cardinals' Triple-A affiliate, accumulating a 7.63 ERA and 1.72 WHIP across 30.2 frames. His command issues will almost certainly cause him to pitch exclusively in low-leverage situations.
