OAKLAND -- The Angels designated Todd Cunningham for assignment to make room for Tim Lincecum, who makes his debut at the Coliseum on Saturday.
Cunningham went 1-for-12 (.083) for Los Angeles after being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake last Saturday. He was involved in Friday's ninth-inning drama, pinch-running for Jefry Marte and scoring the game-tying run before the A's won 3-2 on Billy Burns' walk-off single.
With Shane Robinson filling the fourth outfielder role and manager Mike Scioscia's desire to maintain a 12-man pitching staff moving forward, Cunningham was the odd man out.
