ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Reliever Kirby Yates finalized to a $5 million, one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
A 38-year-old right-hander, Yates flopped last season with the crosstown Dodgers. He did not pitch after Sept. 20 after straining his right hamstring, an injury that also sidelined him between May 17 and June 8.<\/p>\n
