Angels' Miguel Almonte: Booted off 40-man

Almonte was designated for assignment by the Angels on Sunday.

Almonte has been removed from the 40-man roster to make room for the addition of Cody Allen. Almonte appeared in eight games out of the bullpen for the Angels a season ago, struggling to a 10.29 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with seven punchouts over seven frames.
