"The Angels announced that they've claimed right-handed reliever Cody Laweryson off waivers from the Twins. That'll bring the Halos' 40-man roster count to 34 players while dropping the Twins to 38. Laweryson, 28 next May, was a 14th-round pick by Minnesota back in 2019 and made his MLB debut this past season, tossing 7 2/3 innings and allowing one run late in the season."
"The 6'4″ righty punched out seven of 26 opponents and didn't issue a walk. He averaged 93.2 mph on his four-seamer, mixing in a cutter and changeup to round out a three-pitch repertoire. That marked the end of a quality all-around season for the Maine native. He split the remainder of the season between Double-A and Triple-A, working to a combined 2.86 ERA with a 24.6% strikeout rate, 7.7% walk rate and 46.3% ground-ball rate in 44 innings of minor league relief."

Minnesota added him to the 40-man after trading multiple relievers at the deadline and likely will trim additional names from the roster.
