Angels sent INF Niko Kavadas outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

No team was willing to roll the dice on Kavadas, who will remain with Los Angeles since it was the first time he’s been designated for assignment in his career. The 26-year-old first baseman has batted .168 (19-for-113) with four homers, eight RBI and one steal over 40 games at the major-league level over the past two seasons.
