Report: Angels' Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo López Claimed on Waivers by Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians have claimed right-handed starting pitcher Lucas Giolito and right-handed relief pitcher Reynaldo López off waivers on Thursday, per ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Giolito and López were two of six Los Angeles Angels players who were placed on waivers Tuesday, per Passan.

L.A. was hoping to compete for a playoff berth after finding itself in the wild-card race in late July and acquired numerous players prior to the deadline, including Giolito and López from the Chicago White Sox.

However, an 8-19 stretch has placed the Halos well outside the playoff picture.
