Angels' Hector Yan: Optioned to High-A

Yan was optioned to High-A Inland Empire on Tuesday.

Yan got to spend some time in big-league camp this spring but was never under consideration for a roster spot. He's yet to pitch above Low-A, but performed well at that level in 20 starts and six relief appearances for Burlington, posting a 3.39 ERA and a 32.3 percent strikeout rate. He'll have to improve upon his 11.3 percent walk rate as he climbs the ladder.
