Scouting Report: Brett Johnson
Chicago Cubs | LF
Overall
Summary
Brett Johnson is a left-handed reliever for the Los Angeles Angels who has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to elbow inflammation. This is a significant setback for the young pitcher who was drafted 74th overall in 2024 but had no professional experience before making the Angels roster. Johnson made his MLB debut last season despite lacking minor league experience and struggled initially before being sent to High-A as a starter. He made the rotation again this year but landed on the IL after just one start due to a viral infection. He recently completed rehab assignments (3.1 innings on May 3, 5 innings on May 8) before this latest elbow injury.
Strengths
- High draft pedigree (74th overall in 2024)
- Recently completed successful rehab assignments
