Angels' Greg Mahle: Designated for assignment

Mahle was designated for assignment Saturday, the Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports.

The Angels brought up bullpen reinforcement (Jose Valdez and Daniel Wright) and needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, so Mahle was the casualty. He has a 3.60 ERA and four strikeouts in 10 innings of relief at Triple-A this season.
