Despite a solid seven-inning outing for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Tim Lincecum won't be joining the Angels during September.

According to Angels GM Billy Eppler, the team will stick with the guys they have already called up.

“We’ve made a decision to stay with the numbers we have and divide the innings and at-bats with the guys in this room,” Eppler told The Orange County Register on Tuesday.

Manager Mike Scioscia expressed belief that Lincecum was making progress, but that the Major Leagues is not the place for the former two-time Cy Young winner to work on things.
