Apr 6 2025 | The Angels released Crouse (undisclosed) on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After failing to win a spot in the Angels' Opening Day bullpen, Crouse began the season at Triple-A Salt Lake but seemed to suffer a significant injury while throwing just four pitches in his second appearance of the season Thursday. The Angels still haven't provided any details regarding Crouse's injury, but the fact that he's being released rather than being placed on the big club's 60-day injured list likely hints that he's in line for an extended absence. Los Angeles selected the contract of right-hander Michael Darrell-Hicks from Triple-A to replace Crouse on the 40-man roster. |

Mar 12 2025 | The Angels optioned Crouse to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he posted a tidy 2.84 ERA and 34 strikeouts over 25.1 innings out of the Angels' bullpen in 2024, Crouse had a poor spring, and that looks to be the main reason why he was unable to break camp with the big club. Over his six Cactus League appearances spanning 4.2 innings, Crouse yielded five earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven. He'll likely need to show improved control early on in the season at Salt Lake before receiving another look with the big club. |

Sep 9 2024 | The Angels optioned Crouse to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One day after being recalled from Triple-A, Crouse will head back to Salt Lake to make room in the bullpen for a fresher arm in lefty Jose Suarez, who was called up from the minors in a corresponding move. Crouse tossed 27 pitches and retired four hitters in his relief appearance in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers, allowing no runs on zero hits and two walks while striking out one. |

Sep 8 2024 | The Angels recalled Crouse from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was optioned to Salt Lake on Aug. 21, and he'll return to the big leagues after spending little more than the 15-day minimum in the minors. Crouse has been a solid bullpen piece for the Halos this year with a 3.00 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB over 24 innings. |

Aug 21 2024 | The Angels optioned Crouse to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Crouse has done a solid job in the Angels' bullpen since being brought up from the minors in June, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 24 innings. However, he'll end up as the Halos' roster casualty as Johnny Cueto comes up from Triple-A to start Wednesday's game. Crouse also owns a 2.70 ERA at Salt Lake and could rejoin Los Angeles' bullpen down the stretch if he remains effective. |

Jul 25 2024 | Crouse (4-0) earned the win over Seattle on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Crouse entered with the Mariners up 1-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning and threw 12 of his 15 pitches for strikes in a scoreless frame. The Angels then scored twice in the top of the eighth, putting the right-hander in line for the victory. Prior to his call-up June 21, Crouse last pitched in the majors during 2021, and he had struggled with injuries over his past two seasons. However, he's done well with Los Angeles, posting a 1.76 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB while compiling four wins over 15 appearances covering 15.1 frames. |

Jun 21 2024 | The Angels selected Crouse's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Crouse inked a minor-league contract with the Angels in February and after earning a 2.70 ERA with a 42:7 K:BB across 23.1 innings at Salt Lake, he'll get a much-deserved look at big-league action. Crouse hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2021 with Philadelphia. |

Nov 9 2022 | Crouse (biceps) was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Crouse spent most of the 2022 campaign sidelined due to right biceps tendinitis, but he began a rehab assignment in September. Although he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster, it's possible he'll be ready for spring training in 2023. |
|
Sep 10 2022 | Crouse (biceps) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Crouse hasn't pitched for the Triple-A club since April 20 due to right biceps tendinitis, but he'll return to action Saturday. Once the right-hander is deemed fully healthy, it seems likely that he'll remain at Lehigh Valley. |
|
Jul 15 2022 | Crouse was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and placed on the 60-day injured list due to right biceps tendinitis Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Crouse hasn't pitched at Lehigh Valley since April 20 due to his injury. He also spent time on the COVID-19 IL in May, and he'll be unavailable until at least mid-September following Friday's transaction. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be able to return to game action prior to the end of the regular season. |

Oct 2 2021 | Crouse (0-2) allowed three runs on two hits and three walks over four innings while taking the loss Saturday against Miami. He had one strikeout. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Miami's Jazz Chisholm delivered all of the damage against Crouse, smacking a three-run homer in the third inning to break a scoreless tie. After being promoted from the minors in late-September, Crouse dropped both starts in his first taste of the big leagues, giving up four runs over seven innings with seven walks and just two strikeouts. |
|
Sep 26 2021 | Crouse (0-1) took the loss Sunday versus Pittsburgh. He allowed a run on two hits and four walks with one strikeout in three innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Crouse wasn't bad in this start, but Philadelphia mustered just six hits and no runs in the contest, leaving him with a hard-luck loss in his big-league debut. The only run against the right-hander was Cole Tucker's leadoff home run to start the game. Crouse may have shown well enough to earn another start -- if so, it would likely be in Miami next weekend. |

Jul 14 2018 | Crouse allowed one hit and struck out 11 without a walk in seven scoreless innings for short-season Spokane on Friday. | Crouse, 19, retired the final 17 batters faced in what was clearly his best outing. The Rangers' second-round pick in 2017 has experienced mixed results thus far and may need to string together a few positive starts before getting a promotion to a full-season affiliate. |
|
Jun 28 2018 | Crouse tossed five scoreless innings for short-season Spokane in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Everett. He gave up two hits and two walks and struck out six. | Crouse's 2018 debut was delayed until last week due to a bout of biceps tendinitis along with the Rangers' desire to limit his innings load in his first full season in the professional ranks. The 2017 second-round pick has looked good through his first two outings and is unlikely to face much of a challenge from opposing hitters until he heads to a full-season affiliate. |
|
Jun 16 2018 | Crouse suffered a cut on his right middle finger during warmups and was scratched from a scheduled start for short-season Spokane on Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. | Crouse, a second-round pick in the 2017 draft, is only expected to miss a start or two. |
