Orioles trade left-hander Chris Jones to Angels for pair of minor leaguers

The Orioles on Tuesday acquired minor leaguers Natanael Delgado and Erick Salcedo from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for left-hander Chris Jones, who was designated for assignment off the 40-man roster on March 23.

Jones had appeared in three major league spring training games before being optioned to the minors on March 14, and was removed from the 40-man roster when the team signed left-handed reliever Zach Phillips.

Delgado, a 20-year-old outfielder from the Dominican Republic, made his full-season debut last season in Class-A Burlington, batting .241/.276/.355 with six home runs while playing primarily right field.
