The Los Angeles Angels announced Tuesday the promotion of Arkansas Travelers' ace Trevor Bell to Triple-A Salt Lake. Bell has been dominant in his first year in Double-A, leading the Texas League in ERA (2.23) and WHIP (1.08).
The 22-year-old righthander posted a 4-3 record with 51 strikeouts and 20 walks in 68.2 innings pitched in two and a half months at Arkansas.
