The Angels claimed Laweryson off waivers from the Twins on Thursday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Laweryson made his MLB debut in September, and the 27-year-old right-hander yielded merely one run across 7.1 innings in the closing weeks of the regular season. He struck out seven batters and didn't record a walk. He'll have a chance to build on his strong debut with a new organization.
The Angels outrighted Brogdon to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.
Brogdon has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, but it's unclear what he plans to do. The right-handed reliever made 43 appearances for the Angels in 2025, collecting a 5.55 ERA and 49:18 K:BB.

Angels' Carson Fulmer: Sent outright to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels outrighted Fulmer (elbow) to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.
Fulmer can decline the outright assignment and elect free agency if he wants, but it's unclear what his intentions are. The righty's 2025 season ended prematurely due to an elbow strain, but he did not require surgery and should heal after an offseason of rest.
Angels' Tyler Bremner: Not pitching due to sore elbow
Rotowire
Bremner is not pitching in fall instructs due to elbow soreness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
He had a clean MRI, and the move to hold him out of instructs is being labeled precautionary, with Blum reporting that there is no concern within the organization about any actual injury. Nonetheless, with six or seven very strong pitching prospects headlining the 2025 First-Year Player Draft class, the fact Bremner hasn't logged any meaningful game action since getting drafted with the No. 1 overall pick could be a tiebreaker for dynasty managers deciding whom to select in dynasty first-year player drafts.

Angels' Logan Davidson: Off 40-man roster
Rotowire
Davidson cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Davidson spent most of his time in Triple-A this season, slashing .252/.387/.399 with 10 homers, 51 RBI, 60 runs and seven steals across 94 minor-league games. Now that he no longer has a place on the Angels' 40-man roster, he'll likely need to impress during spring training to reclaim a spot.
Angels' Reid Detmers: Will move back into rotation
Rotowire
Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Saturday that Detmers (elbow) will move back into the rotation in 2026, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
Detmers pitched well in his first season as a full-time reliever in 2025, posting a 3.96 ERA and 80:25 K:BB over 63.2 innings. However, Minasian feels the southpaw has "earned" another shot to be a starting pitcher in 2026 and is "a different guy" than the one who held a 4.90 ERA over 75 starts from 2021-24. Detmers struck out 418 batters across 385.2 frames during the latter stretch, so he's displayed strong swing-and-miss stuff as a starter. The lefty ended this season on the 60-day injured list with an injured pitching elbow, but he's expected to recover with rest.
