In 26 games (20 starts) between Quad Cities, Buies Creek, Inland Empire and Mobile, he was 11–1 with a 2.06 ERA, striking out 145 batters in ​122 1⁄3 innings pitched.[13] He returned to Mobile to begin 2019,[14] and was promoted to the Salt Lake Bees in May after compiling a 0–3 record with a 3.60 ERA over twenty innings.[15]

On August 5, 2019, the Angels selected Sandoval's contract and promoted him to the major leagues.[16] At the time of his promotion, he owned a 6.41 ERA over ​60 1⁄3 innings with Salt Lake.[17] He made his major league debut that night versus the Cincinnati Reds, pitching five innings while allowing two runs and striking out eight.[18] On the season with the Angels, Sandoval finished with a 0–4 record and a 5.03 ERA over ten appearances (nine starts), striking out 42 in ​39 1⁄3 innings.[19] In 2020, he became a member of the team's starting rotation, going 1-5 with a 5.65 ERA over nine games (six starts).
