ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Aaron Hicks was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Angels on Monday after batting .140 in 18 games.
Hicks was 8 for 57 with the Angels and had only one hit in his last 19 at-bats.
"We just thought we needed to start making some changes," manager Ron Washington said before Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. "I love Aaron Hicks and I appreciate what he did during the time he was here, but it was time to move on."
Hicks signed a one-year deal with the Angels in late January. He started only two of the last six games after Jo Adell took over as the starting right fielder.
