Angels ink Nick Sandlin on minor-league deal with spring training invite

Los Angeles Angels signed right-hander Nick Sandlin to a minor-league contract with a spring-training invite, adding bullpen depth after an injury-marred 2025 season. Sandlin posted solid numbers from 2021-24 (3.27 ERA with strong strikeouts and grounders) but dealt with elbow/lat injuries last year. If he spends 15 days on a major-league roster, he reaches five years of service time, giving the Angels control through 2027 if he performs.
