Daniel Murphy comes out of retirement, signs with Angels

Los Angeles Angels purchased the contract of Daniel Murphy from Long Island of the independent Atlantic League and signed him to a minor league contract.
Murphy last played in the major leagues in 2020, appearing in 40 games with the Colorado Rockies.
Murphy came out of retirement to sign with the Ducks in March and has been performing well with a .331/.410/.451 slash line in 37 games.
Murphy finished his major league career with averages of .296/.341/.455 and 138 home runs to go with 735 RBIs in 12 seasons with the Mets, Washington Nationals, Chicago Cubs, and Colorado Rockies.
Murphy will presumably be assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake when the Angels announce the move.
