The Los Angeles Angels have acquired infielder Brendan Ryan in a trade with the Washington Nationals, the team announced on Tuesday.
The Nationals will receive cash considerations in return, per MASNsports.com's Mark Zuckerman.
Ryan has spent nine years in the majors, most recently with the New York Yankees where he appeared in 106 games in two seasons.
He signed a minor-league deal with the Nationals in the offseason and had not appeared with the big club in their first 32 games.
With a career .234 batting average and 19 home runs in almost 3,000 plate appearances, Ryan isn't the kind of player that can make much of an offensive impact within a lineup.
