A's claim right-handed pitcher Parker Bridwell off waivers from Angels

The A's added to their pitching staff by acquiring Parker Bridwell.

The team announced on Tuesday the 27-year-old had been claimed off of waivers from the Los Angeles Angels. This was the third time the right-handed pitcher had been claimed off of waivers since the end of the season.

Last season, with the Halos, Bridwell posted a 17.55 ERA in 6.2 innings. Previously in 2017, he posted a 3.64 ERA in 121 innings.

He will add some pitching depth to the A's, and it appears that despite the numbers, his age shows he still has a healthy timeline left to prove he can bring something to the table.
