Orioles claim pitcher Aaron Brooks off waivers from Athletics, designate Josh Lucas for assignment

The Orioles added to their bullpen depth Saturday, claiming right-hander Aaron Brooks off waivers from the Oakland Athletics.

Brooks, 29, is a well-traveled former draft pick of the Kansas City Royals, having made his major league debut with the Royals in 2014 before being dealt to Oakland in 2015.

Between his two stints with the Athletics, Brooks was part of the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers organizations, though he didn't reach the majors with either, before he returned to the big leagues in September with Oakland.
