The Los Angeles Angels and infielder Kevin Newman agreed to a one-year contract with a club option for 2026, the New York Post reported on Thursday.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Newman could be in line to be the Angels’ starting shortstop next season if Zach Neto is not ready to return from last week’s surgery on his right shoulder. Neto sustained the injury while sliding in a game against the Chicago White Sox on Sept. 26.
Newman, 31, batted .278 with 17 doubles, three homers and 28 RBIs in 111 games with the Arizona Diamondbacks last season.
He is a career .262 hitter with 26 homers and 199 RBIs in 616 career games with the Pittsburgh Pirates (2018-22), Cincinnati Reds (2023) and Diamondbacks.
