Rotowire
Warren (elbow) agreed to a one-year contract with the Giants on Wednesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Warren was designated for assignment and subsequently released by the Angels last week, but it didn't take long for him to latch on with a new team. The right-hander missed most of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May, so he's likely to also be sidelined for the first half of 2024.

Angels' Austin Warren: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Angels transferred Warren (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Warren likely won't be ready to rejoin the Los Angeles bullpen until at least the middle of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery earlier this month, so his move to the 60-day IL doesn't affect his timeline. Instead, the procedural move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-handed relief prospect Ben Joyce, who was called up from Double-A Rocket City on Sunday.

Rotowire
Warren (elbow) has been shut down from throwing for 4-to-6 weeks after receiving the results of his MRI, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Warren's MRI came back cleaner than that of Jose Quijada (elbow), but he's still going to be unable to throw for at least a month and very possibly more. The right-hander will then need a rehab assignment, and if all goes well, he could be a middle-innings option for the bullpen near the end of June.

Warren was called up to the majors by the Angels on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Warren made 14 appearances for the Angels last season, recording a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in that time.

Angels' Austin Warren: Shifted to minors camp
Rotowire
The Angels reassigned Warren to minor-league camp Friday.
Warren struggled last season with the Angels, logging a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, and it cost him his spot on the 40-man roster.

Angels' Austin Warren: Likely to open campaign in minors
Rotowire
Warren could possibly make the Angels' Opening Day roster, but he's more likely to begin the campaign in the minors, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Warren has pitched well this spring, posting a 2.25 ERA and 9:0 K:BB over eight innings. However, he lost his spot on the team's 40-man roster in January, which may hinder his ability to break camp with the club this year. Warren struggled with a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 16 frames in the majors last season, but he was excellent as a rookie in 2021, recording a 1.77 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB over 20.1 innings.

Angels' Austin Warren: DFA'd by Halos
Rotowire
The Angels designated Warren for assignment on Monday.
Warren serves as the Angels' roster casualty after the club signed Brett Phillips to a one-year deal Monday. The 26-year-old reliever gave up 10 earned runs over 16 innings in the majors last season. Warren had better luck in Triple-A, however, recording an impressive 2.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through 34 frames.
