Angels' Gregorio Petit: Designated for assignment

Petit was designated for assignment by the Angels on Monday.

Analysis:

Petit was the casualty on the 40-man roster after the Angels agreed to a one-year deal with outfielder Ryan LaMarre. Soon to be 32 years old, Petit appeared in 89 games with the Angels in 2016 as a utility infielder and slashed .245/.299/.348. Assuming he accepts his assignment, he will likely begin the 2017 season with Triple-A Salt Lake.
