33 Ramon Flores LF

Flores has cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Nothing in Flores's career .204/.281/.256 major-league line nor his power-light .311/.405/.417 line in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League was enough to entice another club into a waiver claim. Flores will thus continue serving as organizational depth for the Angels' outfield.

Flores was designated for assignment by the Angels on Friday.

Three days after having his contract selected, Flores finds himself bumped back off the 40-man roster. Flores is still just 25, but given his .204/.281/.256 line in 119 career games at the major-league level, it's difficult to imagine he will shed the Quad-A label anytime soon, if at all.

Flores had his contract purchased from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

He'll take the roster spot of David Hernandez, who was traded to the Diamondbacks on Monday. Flores has seen time in the majors during each of the previous two seasons, though he's compiled a weak .206/.286/.260 slash line over that time (116 games). He'll mainly serve as outfield depth, though he could see a few starts while Kole Calhoun is on the mend.

Flores was assigned to the Angels' minor-league camp Tuesday.

The 25-year-old was able to secure a roster spot with the Brewers last spring, but slashed just .205/.294/.261 across 289 plate appearances before the team removed him from the 40-man roster last August. He was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with the Angels in the offseason, and will need to make his mark at Triple-A Salt Lake before receiving a cup of coffee with the parent club.

Flores received an invitation to major league spring training Thursday.

The 24-year-old signed with the Angels back in November, but even though he's out of options, his lackluster performance with the Brewers last season hardly has him in the conversation for a major league roster spot. He'll likely act as organizational depth for the season unless an injury crops up at the major league level.
