The Angels signed veteran left-handed reliever Ian Krol to a minor league contract and invited the 27-year-old to spring training, where he will compete with incumbent left-hander Jose Alvarez for a bullpen job.
Krol, who appeared in 224 games for Washington, Detroit and Atlanta from 2013 to 2017, was 2-0 with a 3.18 earned-run average in 63 games with Atlanta in 2016, striking out 56 batters and walking 13 in 51 innings.
The next season he was 2-2 with a 5.33 ERA in 49 innings, striking out 44, walking 21 and giving up eight home runs, as many as he gave up in the previous two years combined.
