Angels Lose Pitcher on Waiver Claim to National League Foe

As part of their early-season quest to find a suitable bridge to closer Kenley Jansen, the Angels cycled through a host of middle relievers with varying degrees of success.

Michael Darrell-Hicks' six-game audition was not good enough to secure a long-term spot in the bullpen. He allowed 10 hits and eight runs across 7.2 innings. He hasn't been seen in Anaheim since allowing three runs in one inning of work on May 4 against the Detroit Tigers.

The Angels sent Darrell-Hicks back to Triple-A Salt Lake to iron out his issues. His next chance in the big leagues, however, likely won't come with the Angels.
