Veteran reliever Hunter Strickland has re-signed with the Los Angeles Angels on a minor league deal. The contract includes an invitation to spring training.

Strickland is an 11-year veteran at the big league level and has posted a career ERA of 3.37 in 499 appearances. The righthander has pitched each of the last two seasons with the Angels and has a 3.30 ERA across 91 appearances. He did spend most of last season on the shelf with inflammation on his throwing shoulder and was limited to just 22 innings. If healthy, Strickland should have no problem being a consistent arm in the Angels' bullpen.
