Lincecum designated for assignment by Angels (Yahoo Sports)

Tim Lincecum has been designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Angels a day after the two-time Cy Young Award winner allowed six runs in the first inning. The Angels made the move prior to Saturday's game against Seattle. Lincecum was 2-6 with a 9.16 ERA in nine starts with Los Angeles in his return from left hip surgery last September.
