The Angels claimed righty Kaleb Ort off waivers from the Yankees, who designated him for assignment. Ort, who has a 4.08 ERA over the past two seasons, will need to be on the Angels’ Opening Day roster since he is out of minor league options, while outfielder Wade Meckler was designated for assignment as a corresponding move. Meckler, who struggled in his brief MLB stint, has performed well in Triple-A and has one minor league option remaining. The Angels must resolve Meckler’s DFA within a week, either by trading him or placing him on waivers.
