CINCINNATI -- The Reds made a move to supplement their bullpen Wednesday by signing left-handed reliever Ian Krol to a Minor League contract. Krol will be in big league camp as a non-roster invitee.
Krol, 27, a lefty situational specialist, spent most of last season in Triple-A with the Angels and Mets organizations. In 43 appearances, he posted a 2.72 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP. He made one big league appearance with Los Angeles on May 27 vs. the Yankees and worked two scoreless innings.
Over parts of six Major League seasons with the Nationals, Tigers, Braves and Angels, Krol is 8-6 with a 4.
