Aaron Loup

Los Angeles Angels reliever Aaron Loup has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left shoulder strain.

Fantasy Impact

While the move is retroactive to Sept. 20, Loup's season has come to an end. The veteran southpaw tossed an unsightly 6.10 ERA across 55 appearances this season, although his 4.37 FIP and 4.34 SIERA suggest he was hindered by some serious poor luck in the 2023 season.

Loup was dominant in his one inning of work, needing just 11 pitches to retire the side in order and secure the victory for the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

He didn't allow a hit or a walk, and struck out two batters to cap off his impressive performance. With this outing, Loup now has one save on the season to go along with 6 holds, while his ERA sits at 4.71 and his WHIP at 1.50 through 32 games.

Los Angeles Angels reliever Aaron Loup has been placed on the injured list with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact

Loup said he injured his hamstring covering third base on a Paul Goldschmidt double in Thursday's series finale in St. Louis. While Loup sports a 7.00 ERA in 11 appearances, better days should be ahead for the veteran lefty. He also owns a 3.92 FIP while his .412 BABIP should retreat sharply.

Los Angeles Angels RP Aaron Loup pitched 2/3 of an inning on Saturday, allowing one hit for zero earned runs in the Angels' 5-4 loss to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Loup allowed one hit after coming in for relief of Noah Syndergaard but was charged with the loss ultimately. The reliever only threw nine pitches and since the runs were not charged to Loup he still maintains an immaculate ERA of 0.00 on the year but should remain on waivers in all leagues.

Aaron Loup has signed a two-year deal worth $17 million with the Los Angeles Angels.

Fantasy Impact

Loup was excellent for the New York Mets in 2021 as he finished the season with a 0.95 ERA over 56 2/3 innings. He should be a big help to the Angels.
