The Los Angeles Angels signed former Twins right-handed pitcher José Ureña, who elected free agency on Aug. 26 after Minnesota designated him for assignment, to a major league contract on Sunday after placing left-handed pitcher Tyler Anderson on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain.
The Angels are Ureña's fifth team this season, which ties an MLB record set by relievers Oliver Drake (one of his five teams was the Twins) in 2018 and Mike Baumann in 2024. Besides the Twins and Angels, Ureña has played for the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers this season.
