The San Francisco Giants sent right-handed pitcher Mike Baumann south to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for cash considerations on Monday.

Baumann, 28, will join his fourth team this season after stints with the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners and San Francisco.

Baumann entered the major leagues with the O's in 2021 and got into 17 games for them this year, going 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA before he was traded to the Mariners in May.

He went 2-0 with a 5.51 ERA in 18 relief appearances for Seattle. The Giants acquired him from the Mariners eight days ago for cash considerations.

But after one appearance out of the Giants' bullpen, San Francisco shuttled him to Los Angeles.

In 113 career games (four starts) for Baltimore, Seattle and San Francisco, Baumann has gone 15-5 and pitched to a 4.68 ERA. He's struck out 122 batters and walked 65 across 144 1/3 innings.
