Chris Stratton Makes Angels Rotation
6 years agoLos Angeles Angels starting pitcher Chris Stratton, who was acquired from the Giants on Monday night, has made the Opening Day rotation, according to manager Brad Ausmus. As a result, the team optioned starter Jaime Barria to Triple-A Salt Lake. It speaks more to the lack of starting depth for the Halos than it does for Stratton, who went 10-10 with a 5.09 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 7.0 K/9 in 145 innings for the Giants last year. It's likely that Stratton will be sent down or moved to long relief once Andrew Heaney (elbow) makes his season debut later in April.
