Angels' Jhonathan Diaz: Reassigned to minor-league camp

The Angels reassigned Diaz to minor-league camp Wednesday.

Diaz missed much of last season due to an unspecified injury and was designated for assignment in November. The lefty eventually returned to the Angels on a minor-league contract and got into four games this spring, allowing just one unearned run on one hit while posting a 6:1 K:BB over seven innings. Though he'll likely open the season in Triple-A, Diaz should be among the first candidates for a call-up if Los Angeles has a need for pitching depth during the campaign.
