"For the Angels, there is zero risk in bringing Kaminsky into the organization as a depth flier. The club's bullpen is one of the worst in the Majors with a 5.42 combined ERA. Jordan Romano was the nominal closer before being released and signing with the Rockies on a minors pact. Among the remaining arms, Ryan Zeferjahn is arguably the most valuable. He has a 4.58 ERA in 19 2/3 innings, though his 2.14 xERA and 2.72 FIP suggest he's due for positive regression."
Rob Kaminsky signed a minor league contract with the Angels as a low-risk bullpen depth option. Kaminsky is a left-handed reliever who began in the Cardinals’ system, was drafted in 2013, and was traded to Cleveland in 2015 for Brandon Moss. He reached Triple-A with Cleveland in 2019, then returned to the Cardinals on a non-roster pact during the pandemic. He made five major league appearances in 2020, allowing one earned run in 4 2/3 innings. He later spent time with the Phillies, Mariners, and Cardinals again in 2025, with limited innings. His profile emphasizes groundball rates in the 50–60% range despite below-average velocity, making ground-ball production central if he returns to the majors. The Angels’ bullpen has a 5.42 combined ERA, so the organization can take a chance on additional depth.
