Guardians Bolster Pitching Staff with Key Waiver Wire Acquisitions

The Cleveland Guardians have added right-handed starting pitcher Lucas Giolito, right-handed reliever Reynaldo Lopez, and left-handed reliever Matt Moore via the waiver wire. Giolito and Lopez were claimed from the Los Angeles Angels, while Moore was also claimed from the Angels. All three players will become free agents at the end of the 2023 season. Giolito has had a challenging season, but he could provide valuable support to the Guardians' rotation. Lopez is a serviceable reliever, while Moore has been impressive as a reliever in 2023. The Guardians' roster will undergo some changes to accommodate the new additions.

Guardians Bolster Roster with Waiver Claims of Giolito, López, and Moore

The Cleveland Guardians have claimed pitchers Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo López, and Matt Moore off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels placed six players on waivers as they fell out of playoff contention. Giolito, who struggled with the Angels, had been a highly sought-after trade target earlier in the season. López has performed better with the Angels than his previous team, the Chicago White Sox. Moore has excelled as a reliever in recent years. The Guardians hope these additions will help them make a playoff push in the final month of the season.

Former Tennessee pitcher Ben Joyce makes MLB debut with Angels

The Los Angeles Angels have called up hard-throwing right-hander Ben Joyce from Double-A to replace left-hander Matt Moore, who has been placed on the 15-day IL with a right oblique strain. Joyce has a 4.60 ERA over 15 2/3 innings at Double-A this season, with a 34.3% strikeout rate and an 18.3% walk rate. His fastball has touched 105 mph in the past, but he'll need to develop his slider to be a big-league reliever. Moore has a 1.44 ERA through 25 innings for the Angels, but left-handed hitters have hit .250/.333/.625 against him.
