Just before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline, the Phillies have reportedly acquired starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard in a deal with the Angels, according to Jayson Stark of The Athletic.
Los Angeles will receive two prospects in return: outfielders Mickey Moniak and Jadiel Sanchez.
Syndergaard, who signed with the Angels on a one-year, $21 million contract last offseason, is 5–8 with a 3.83 ERA in 15 starts this season. He missed virtually all of the previous two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery, and though his average fastball velocity and strikeouts are down from their pre-injury norms, he’s been effective for most of this season in his return to the mound.
