The Los Angeles Angels designated veteran pitcher Johnny Cueto for assignment and put reliever Carson Fulmer on the 15-day injured list on Friday, clearing roster spots for pitching prospects Caden Dana and Samuel Aldegheri.
Cueto, 38, signed a minor league contract with the Angels in July after opting out of a deal with the Rangers. He returned to the majors Aug. 21 and posted a quality start -- three runs in 6 1/3 innings -- against the Royals, one of his former teams. He then allowed six runs on six hits, including three home runs, in five-plus innings Tuesday against the Tigers.
