Félix Peña News
The New York Mets have signed right-handed pitcher Felix Pena to a minor league deal. Pena will likely be invited to spring training camp, if that even takes place this year. The 32-year-old will provide the Mets with experienced depth for the rotation or bullpen. Pena began his career with the Chicago Cubs but has spent the last four years with the Los Angeles Angels, posting a 4.60 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 217 strikeouts and 74 walks in 217 1/3 innings over 68 appearances (24 starts). He doesn't overpower hitters, but he has been mostly around league average with his strikeout and ground-ball rates in recent seasons. Pena missed the first six weeks of the 2021 season and allowed seven earned runs in 1 2/3 innings before being outrighted off the major league roster.
Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitcher Felix Pena (groin) will be sidelined for the next two to four weeks due to a strained right groin that he sustained during Cactus League play Monday. Pena was in competition for a multi-inning relief role with the Halos during camp, with his injury all but assuring that he'll begin 2021 on the injured list. Having amassed a 4.34 ERA over 66 appearances (24 starts) with the Angels since 2018, Pena has been a solid, if not unspectacular fantasy asset in that stretch. With Anaheim already boasting six starters come Opening Day and the groin strain likely to keep him out of the mix, Pena is a non-entity in season-long drafts over the coming weeks.
The Los Angeles Angels will utilize the duo of Ty Buttrey and Felix Pena to close out games moving forward, with neither arm officially being tabbed as the full-time closer. Pena picked up the save Thursday against San Diego, while Buttrey has recorded four of the six saves that the club has compiled this season. The split duties will make rostering either in season-long formats frustrating, but Pena appears to be the better option of the two at this stage, having racked up 23 strikeouts in 19 frames.
