Red Sox claim RHP Kyle Tyler off waivers from the Angels

One thing that’s been overtly clear in this post-lockout period in getting ready for a short ramp up prior to Opening Day is that the Red Sox are prioritizing pitching depth, and specifically depth that can give multiple innings. Much of that has come in the form of minor-league signings with guys like Tyler Danish, Derek Holland, and others, but on Tuesday they added a pitcher like this off waivers in Kyle Tyler. The right-handed pitcher had been with the Angels and was designated for assignment over the weekend. To make room on their own 40-man roster, Boston designated Hudson Potts for assignment.
