The Los Angeles Angels have sent pitcher Tim Lincecum to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Lincecum, who has given up three or more earned runs in all but one of his major league starts this year, elected to accept the designation, rather than become a free agent.
Lincecum posted a brutal 9.16 ERA and career-worst 5.31 SIERA through nine starts this year, while he sports only a 0.55 nERD across 38 1/3 innings.
