The Los Angeles Angels have acquired right-hander Roansy Contreras from the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash. The Pirates designated the 24-year-old Contreras for assignment on Saturday to create room on the roster for Paul Skenes ahead of the prized pitcher's major league debut against the Cubs.

FILE - Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Roansy Contreras throws during the second inning of the team’s spring training baseball game against the Detroit Tigers on March 2, 2024, in Lakeland, Fla. The Los Angeles Angels acquired Contreras from the Pirates for cash Thursday, May 16. The Pirates designated the 24-year-old Contreras for assignment Saturday to create room on the roster for Paul Skenes ahead of the prized pitcher’s major league debut against the Chicago Cubs.

Contreras, acquired as part of the trade that sent pitcher Jameson Taillon to the New York Yankees in January 2021, has struggled most of the past two seasons and was out of options. A starter for much of his first three seasons, he has been working out of the bullpen this year. He is 1-0 with a 4.41 ERA in 12 appearances.
