Williams (knee) was designated for assignment by the Angels on Thursday.

Analysis:

After time with both Triple-A Colorado Springs and his major league debut with the Rockies in 2014, the Angels claimed Williams off waivers in October. He should be back in time for the 2015 season after undergoing knee surgery in September, but it appears he'll be starting out back in the minors.
