Angels acquired RHP Gregory Billo from the Royals for cash considerations.
Billo, 23, posted a 7.41 ERA and 17/13 K/BB ratio over his first 17 innings this season in Double-A. He had Tommy John surgery in 2012, but returned last season to make 13 appearances (10 starts) between rookie ball and Class A Lexington. It appears that he’s still trying to round back into form, but the Angels will take a chance on him.
