The Angels designated Newman for assignment Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels moved Newman off the 40-man roster in order to create space for newly acquired Oswaldo Peraza, who was acquired from the Yankees on Thursday. Newman's season in 2025 has been the worst of his career as he is hitting just above .200 in 116 plate appearances.
