Angels claimed LHP Brock Burke off waivers from the Rangers.
The Angels picked up both Burke and former St. Louis reliever Nick Robertson off waivers Tuesday. Burke provides some left-handed depth in the bullpen, but he’s been awful in his limited sample in the majors this year with a 9.22 ERA and 2.20 WHIP.
Rangers designated LHP Brock Burke for assignment.
Burke, 28, has struggled to a 9.22 ERA and 2.20 WHIP over 13 2/3 innings so far. He’s not long removed from being a strong option out of the bullpen, so another team could show interest in the southpaw on the waiver wire.
