The Angels granted Buchter his release Sunday after he elected free agency.
EDGE Analysis
Buchter will hit the open market one day after the Angels outrighted him to their alternate training site when he went unclaimed off waivers. The 33-year-old lefty made 10 relief appearances for the Angels this season, giving up three earned runs on five hits and six walks while striking out eight over six innings.

Buchter will remain in the Angels' organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The southpaw tossed six innings in the majors this year and should serve as organizational depth going forward.

Buchter was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Buchter signed a minor-league deal in February and was added to the 40-man roster Sunday, but it appears he'll be in the minors once baseball resumes. The veteran southpaw had a 2.98 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB across 45.1 innings during 2019, but he'll likely be impacted by the new three-batter minimum this season.

Buchter had his contract selected by the Angels on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran left-hander joined the team on a minor-league deal in February and tossed five scoreless frames in Cactus League play before spring training was suspended, which was apparently enough for him to earn a spot on the 40-man roster. Buchter had a 2.98 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB over 45.1 innings last season and has a sub-3.00 ERA over the last four years, though his usage once play resumes in 2020 figures to be impacted by the new three-batter minimum.
