The Los Angeles Angels have reached an agreement to sign Doug Fister to a Major League contract.

Fister hasn't pitched this season and will likely be optioned to the Minor Leagues to prepare for a big league role.

The New York Mets have signed reliever Neil Ramirez to bolster their bullpen.

Ramirez, who elected for free agency after being designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, has a 8.71 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 10⅓ innings this season for Toronto and the San Francisco Giants.

The Mets also placed Asdrubal Cabrera on the disabled list Tuesday.
