Yankees add pitcher, designate Ronald Torreyes for assignment

The Yankees added intriguing starting pitching depth on Monday by claiming right-hander Parker Bridwell off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels.

Although on the minor league disabled list for much of 2018 due to right elbow inflammation, Bridwell impressively was 10-3 with a 3.64 ERA in 21 games, 20 starts, as a rookie for the 2017 Angels.

So depending on what the Yankees do the rest of this offseason, Bridwell, 27, will report to spring training in February competing for a rotation spot or long reliever position. Either way, he'll likely be an option to get some starts next season.
