The Angels have signed veteran reliever Hunter Strickland to a minor league contract after he was released by the Rangers. Strickland, who previously spent last season with the Angels, had a solid year with a 3.31 ERA over 73 1/3 innings, but faced challenges with a low strikeout rate. With the Angels’ bullpen struggling significantly, holding the worst ERA in MLB, Strickland’s performance in Triple-A will be crucial for a potential return to the majors if he can replicate last year’s success.
