Since the All-Star break while starting for Triple-A Salt Lake and Double-A Rocket City, lefty pitcher Samuel Aldegheri has recorded impressive numbers: 5-2, 2.43 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 44 K and 15 BB in 55.2 innings pitched. The 24-year-old Verona, Italy native will start for the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, September 23, 2025 when the Halos host the Kansas City Royals. If all goes well, he will likely return as the starter in the final game of the season against the Houston Astros on Sunday, September 28th.

Older brother Mattia Aldegheri is currently pitching for Team Italy in the 2025 European Baseball Championship in Rotterdam. He could very well get the start against France on Wednesday, September 24th. The 27-year-old right-handed hurler allowed just one hit with four strikeouts and no walks in four innings of work against Lithuania on September 21st.
