ANAHEIM -- The Angels bolstered their pitching depth in the upper Minors on Saturday by acquiring right-handed reliever Damien Magnifico from the Orioles in exchange for right-hander Jordan Kipper.
Magnifico, 25, was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake, with right-hander Jose Valdez being designated for assignment to create space on the Halos' 40-man roster.
Magnifico, a fifth-round Draft pick of the Mets in 2009, began the '17 season with the Brewers, working 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the club's Triple-A affiliate before being dealt to the Orioles for an international bonus slot on April 13.
