ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels have signed veteran left-hander Dontrelle Willis out of the independent Atlantic League.
The Angels assigned the two-time All-Star and former NL Rookie of the Year to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
The 31-year-old Willis had a league-leading 2.56 ERA in 14 starts with the Long Island Ducks this season.
Willis hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2011 with Cincinnati, and has struggled with numerous injuries and an anxiety disorder over the years.
