Sandridge was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Tuesday. His Major League debut was short-lived, lasting just two-thirds of an inning on July 5 against the New York Mets. His minor league work wasn’t much better, posting a 4.55 ERA in 31.2 Triple-A innings. However, Sandridge managed to record 47 strikeouts in those 34 appearances.
He joins Kaleb Ort as the second former Yankees pitcher to join the Angels organization this week. Los Angeles scooped Ort off waivers from the Yankees on Wednesday.
