The Angels have acquired right-hander Damien Magnifico from the Orioles in exchange for righty Jordan Kipper. Both teams have announced the deal, and both players have been assigned to their new clubs’ respective Triple-A affiliates. The Angels have also designated right-hander Jose Valdez for assignment to create roster space.
Magnifico joins his third different organization in less than a month, after being dealt from Milwaukee to Baltimore for an international bonus slot on April and now this move to Los Angeles. The O’s designated Magnifico for assignment earlier this week to create a 40-man roster spot for catcher Francisco Pena.
