The Yankees claimed right-hander Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Angels on Thursday.
It’s the fifth time the 30-year-old has been claimed this offseason since he finished last season with the A’s.
Bido pitched 79 ¹/₃ innings in 2025 in 26 appearances, including 10 starts, for the A’s.

While Bido struggled with Sacramento last season with a 5.87 ERA, he pitched effectively for the A’s in 2024, with a 1.089 WHIP in 63 ¹/₃ innings.
He originally signed with the Pirates out of the Dominican Republic in 2017.
Bido’s arrival to the Yankees comes after the Angels designated him for assignment last week after they acquired lefty Jayvien Sandridge from the Yankees and needed to make room on their 40-man roster.
To open up a spot on their roster, the Yankees designated infielder Braden Shewmake for assignment.
The lefty-swinging Shewmake played 85 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in ’25 after the Yankees claimed him off waivers from the Royals last offseason.
