Angels Claim 6-Foot-5 Pitcher From Rays
The Los Angeles Angels have added to their pitching depth, as they have claimed Trevor Martin off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Los Angeles Angels have claimed 6-foot-5 right-handed pitcher Trevor Martin from the Tampa Bay Rays on waivers. This move comes shortly after the Rays placed Martin on the assignment due to the Angels' need for additional pitching depth. At 25 years old, Martin hails from Poteau, Oklahoma and has the potential to be a solid addition to the Angels' roster.
In his six MLB appearances this season, he boasts a 0-0 record, a 3.97 ERA, and seven strikeouts over 11.1 innings pitched. This season, Martin has spent most of his time in Triple-A Durham, where he went 3-1 with a 3.09 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 27 games. It remains to be seen how much of an impact Martin will have with the Angels, but this move represents a low-risk option for a team out of the playoff race.
