Angels signed LHP Dustin Richardson to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Salt Lake. Richardson hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2010, when he posted a 4.15 ERA in 26 relief appearances for the Red Sox. He spent part of the 2013 season with the independent-league Sugar Land Skeeters.

Angels and LHP Dustin Richardson agreed to minor league deal. Richardson was suspended for 50 games in January for testing positive for PED's, which is now served. He had been pitching for the Sugar Land Skeeters in independent ball, where he posted a 1.04 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 5/2 K/BB ratio in 8 2/3 innings. He'll report to Triple-A Sale Lake where he'll serve as bullpen depth.

Dustin Richardson has been suspended 50 games for testing positive for five different PEDs. A former fifth-round draft pick, Richardson was released by the Braves earlier this winter after struggling to rein in his control issues last season at the Triple-A level. The 28-year-old could struggle to find a new opportunity.

Braves sent LHP Dusin Richardson outright to Triple-A Gwinnett. Richardson was claimed off waivers from the Marlins in late June. The 27-year-old left-hander has registered a 4.79 ERA and 1.66 WHIP at the Triple-A level this year.

Braves claimed LHP Dustin Richardson off waivers from the Marlins. Not a bad gamble by Atlanta. Richardson has suffered from control issues but is just 26 and has struck out over 10.0 per nine innings in his minor league career. He'll report to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Marlins designated LHP Dustin Richardson for assignment. The Marlins made the move in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for DeWayne Wise. Acquired over the offseason in exchange for Andrew Miller, Richardson has posted a 3.66 ERA and 9.8 K/9 rate at Triple-A New Orleans, but he also holds a 5.6 BB/9 rate, and control issues are nothing new for him.
