Hector Neris News: Latches on with Halos

Neris signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Wednesday.

Neris was part of Atlanta's Opening Day roster but was quickly designated for assignment after he allowed five earned runs in one-plus innings over his first two appearances. He elected free agency after clearing waivers and will now look to bounce back with the Angels. He'll presumably report to Triple-A Salt Lake and could join Los Angeles' bullpen sometime this summer if he returns to form.
