Roansy Contreras, a 24-year-old right-hander, was claimed off waivers by the Texas Rangers after spending time with the Los Angeles Angels. He had a 4.35 ERA over 68 1/3 innings last season, transitioning from a starter role to primarily pitching out of the bullpen. Contreras previously had a solid 3.79 ERA in 18 starts during his first full major league season in 2022 but struggled in 2023 with a 6.59 ERA before being traded to the Angels. Known for his mid-90s four-seam fastball and mid-80s slider, he represents a cost-effective option for the Rangers as they look to rebuild their bullpen.
