Angel Macuare joins the Sioux City Explorers for the rest of the 2025 season, bringing a well-traveled résumé that spans affiliated ball, international circuits, and winter leagues. The 25-year-old righty most recently pitched for the Double-A Wichita Wind Surge (Twins) before his June release. A native of Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, he signed with the Houston Astros in 2017 and climbed through their system, eventually reaching Triple-A in 2023. Macuare also appeared in the 2021 Arizona Fall League with the Glendale Desert Dogs. In 2024, he pitched in the Marlins’ system with Pensacola and Jacksonville. Across eight affiliated seasons, he logged over 360 innings with 372 strikeouts. Known for his swing-and-miss stuff and versatility as both a starter and reliever, Macuare adds valuable depth to Sioux City’s staff. He went 3.38 ERA over 12 outings with Wichita in 2025 and now brings experience and upside to the Explorers’ playoff push.
