In a disappointing outing, Los Angeles Angels rookie right-hander George Klassen left Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds in the third inning due to a bruised nail on his right index finger. In just his second major league appearance, Klassen struggled, allowing five runs, five hits, and five walks while recording two strikeouts over 72 pitches. The Angels were trailing 5-1 when he exited the game. Klassen had made his major league debut earlier this month on April 5 against the Seattle Mariners and did not receive a decision. He became the first Angels player to debut as a starter since Mitch Farris last September. The Angels acquired Klassen, a former sixth-round pick, from the Philadelphia Phillies along with left-hander Sam Aldegheri in exchange for right-hander Carlos Estévez on July 27, 2024.
