The Angels acquired Zuniga from the Cardinals on Wednesday in exchange for cash consideration.
Analysis: Zuniga allowed one run over two innings during his brief time with St. Louis in 2023 and held a 7.63 ERA and 37:20 K:BB over 30.2 frames at Triple-A Memphis. The 25-year-old has a big arm but also major control problems. Zuniga will compete for a spot in the Angels' bullpen.

The Cardinals designated Zuniga (forearm) for assignment Saturday.
Analysis: The signing of Keynan Middleton became official Saturday, meaning Zuniga will lose his spot on the roster to clear space. Zuniga spent most of his time in Triple-A last season, logging a 7.63 ERA and 1.72 WHIP across 30.2 innings, and he ended the season on the injured list due to a right forearm strain.
