Angels' Packy Naughton: Joining big-league club

The Angels selected Naughton's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

The southpaw has appeared in 11 games (eight starts) at Triple-A this season, posting a 5.23 ERA and 49:13 K:BB in 51.2 innings. It's unclear whether Naughton will be used as a starter or reliever, but either way, he will be making his major-league debut when he first takes the mound. Chris Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.
