Angels Acquire Roansy Contreras in Trade with Pirates

Los Angeles bolsters bullpen by adding former top prospect; infielder Luis Rengifo returns from injured list.

The Angels traded cash considerations to the Pirates for right-hander Roansy Contreras.
Contreras, 24, was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh to make room for top prospect Paul Skenes.
He has a 4.41 ERA in 12 relief appearances this season and has shown potential in previous years.
Contreras will replace Amir Garrett, who was designated for assignment by the Angels.
Infielder Luis Rengifo was reinstated from the 10-day injured list after recovering from a viral illness.
