The Los Angeles Angels have designated righty Vinnie Pestano for assignment to clear a roster spot for David Murphy, who was acquired today.
Pestano, like Murphy, is a former Indian who was traded to the Angels. The 30-year-old has pitched 11 2/3 innings this season and has posted a 5.40 ERA.
Pestano once looked like a very promising reliever during his time with Cleveland, but has struggled the past few seasons to find the success he once had.
