Taylor Blake Ward reports that Taylor Ward, the former Angel first-round catcher, will be called up to the majors:
#Angels are calling up Taylor Ward
— Taylor Blake Ward (@TaylorBlakeWard) August 13, 2018
Ward hit .352/.442/.537/.979 across 60 games in Salt Lake City this year. He has a .931 FLD% after transitioning to third base.
No corresponding move has been announced.
Cue the infamous draft room GIF. He made it, folks.
Update: Ward is not active today, per Fletch.
Can confirm that 3B Taylor Ward is joining the #Angels today, although he won’t be active yet today. Presumably waiting on another roster move to activate him tomorrow (probably depending who pitches tonight). (HT @TaylorBlakeWard)
