Angels transition to future; Braves fighting for postseason

August 17 - Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington is using the final six weeks of the season to give some players major league experience and get a look at them for the future, continuing with Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves in Anaheim, Calif.

Veterans Luis Guillorme and Willie Calhoun were designated for assignment Friday to make room for infielders Nico Kavadas and Jack Lopez, called up from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Kavadas, who was acquired from the Red Sox in a trade deadline deal that sent reliever Luis Garcia to Boston, made his major league debut Friday at designated hitter.
