ANAHEIM -- The Angels have seen their bullpen depth eroded by injuries this season. Their top three relievers -- Huston Street, Andrew Bailey and Cam Bedrosian -- are on the disabled list. JC Ramirez, arguably their fourth-best reliever, was pressed into the rotation following an injury to right-hander Garrett Richards.
Their absences have forced the Angels to assemble a patchwork bullpen, one that was supplemented earlier this week by the acquisition of veteran right-hander David Hernandez, who opened the season in the Braves' Triple-A affiliate. Of the seven relievers who are currently in the Angels' bullpen, only Jose Alvarez and Brooks Pounders were on the club's 40-man roster at the beginning of Spring Training.
