The Angels recalled Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
Los Angeles designated right-hander Connor Brogdon for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Fermin. Over his prior two stints with the big club this season, the 23-year-old Fermin turned in a 6.63 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB in 19 innings. The right-hander will likely handle a low-leverage role out of the Angels bullpen.
