Zeferjahn returns to Los Angeles’ relief mix prior to Tuesday’s series opener against the Royals following a two-week absence with right knee tendinitis. The 27-year-old middle reliever has posted a pedestrian 4.77 ERA and 72/33 K/BB ratio across 54 2/3 innings over 59 appearances this season.

No word yet on the extent of the injury or how long the Angels expect Zeferjahn to be shelved for, though it’s possible that it could end his season. The 27-year-old right-hander holds a 4.77 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 72/33 K/BB ratio in 54 2/3 innings on the season.

Zeferjahn will be the opener for a bullpen game to open the second half. The 27-year-old will likely go an inning or two before giving way to another reliever, so there’ll be no chance for a win, and no chance to accumulate enough other numbers to justify streaming.

Zeferjahn was part of the four-for-one deal for Luis García last summer, when the Red Sox made their offseason 40-man roster decisions easier by sending he, Niko Kavadas, Matthew Lugo and Yeferson Vargas to the Angels. Vargas was the only one in the group that didn’t need to be protected from the Rule 5 draft last winter, and while it was obviously a terrible trade for the Red Sox, given how poorly Garcia performed, Boston probably wasn’t going to keep everyone anyway. That said, the Red Sox surely now wish they’d given Zeferjahn a look before trading him. He has a 3.61 ERA and a 56/21 K/BB in 47 1/3 innings for the Angels since debuting last August.
