A.J. Achter is on the move again.
The Los Angeles Angels have claimed the right-hander off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday.
The 27-year-old was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia from the Minnesota Twins in November and was designated for assignment after the Phillies acquired Charlie Morton from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Achter made 11 appearances out of the Twins' bullpen in 2015, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1.35 WHIP.
He also went 4-2 with a 2.63 ERA and 14 saves in 43 games with Triple-A Rochester.
