Angels' Kirby Yates: Claimed by Angels
Yates was claimed off waivers by the Angels on Wednesday.
Analysis:
The Yankees designated Yates for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, but he was seen as a useful addition by the Angels. He posted a 3.97 FIP and 50:10 K:BB in 41.1 innings out of the big league bullpen last year, but he was awfully hittable, giving up a .340 BABIP, which led to a 5.23 ERA.
