Ryan Johnson, 22, skips minors to debut in MLB with the Los Angeles Angels, a rare move since 2020.

Ryan Johnson, a 22-year-old pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, will debut in the MLB without playing in the minor leagues, a rarity since 2020. Drafted 74th overall in 2024, Johnson secured his spot with a strong spring training, including a quality start against the Dodgers. He joins an improved Angels bullpen featuring Kenley Jansen and Ben Joyce. The Angels also parted ways with underperforming players like Mickey Moniak and Jose Quijada.
