Angels acquired RHP Carlos Espinosa from the Astros for 1B/OF Trey Cabbage.
Espinosa, a 22-year-old right-hander from Cuba, had a 4.29 ERA and a 70/26 K/BB ratio in 56 2/3 innings while making seven starts and eight relief appearances in the low minors last season. He wasn’t considered one of the Astros’ better prospects.
