CHICAGO -- Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum has accepted a demotion to the Los Angeles Angels Triple-A team.The Angels announced Tuesday that Lincecum plans to report to Salt Lake City this week, where he will be a starter.Its impossible to practice the things hes working on at the major league level, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said before their game against the Chicago Cubs. This is not a trial and error theater here. You have to be able to do it.The Angels designated Lincecum for assignment Saturday after he went 2-6 with a 9.16 ERA in nine starts since signing on May 20 following left hip surgery. The 32-year-old right-hander, who helped the San Francisco Giants to three World Series titles, had the right to refuse a minor league assignment after no other team claimed him off waivers.Lincecum signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Angels after holding a showcase workout in Arizona for most major league teams.Scioscia said Lincecum has to adjust to a loss in fastball velocity.Theres no doubt that it was easier for Tim to get back in counts when he was throwing 95-96, Scioscia said. It was easier for his off-speed pitch to work better when he had the velocity. He has enough velocity. This guy has not gone from 96 down to 83 mph. This guy is still touching 90, which is plenty and he has deception in his delivery.Hes more command-sensitive now than he was five years ago and thats something that he has to wrap his arms around.Scioscia said right-hander Jhoulys Chacin will take Lincecums spot in the rotation and start Thursday at Cleveland.The banged-up Angels also placed reliever Cam Bedrosian on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in his right middle finger. Right-hander A.J. Achters contract was selected from Salt Lake City.Bedrosian had been part of the Angels closer-by-committee with Huston Street on the disabled list.He felt it for about a week and it was something he could pitch with, Scioscia said of Bedrosian. But it flared up the other day. . I dont think hes going to throw for at least a week, so its going to take some time.Los Angeles also claimed left-hander Brett Oberholtzer off waivers from Philadelphia, where he had a 4.83 ERA.Hell fit into our pen, Scioscia said.

LOUIS -- St. NFL Nation reporters answer the biggest fantasy questions posed by ESPN fantasy football analyst Mike Clay. Answers were submitted before Thursdays games.?AFC East | AFC North | AFC South | AFC West NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC WestAFC EASTBuffalo BillsAssuming he returns in the next week or two, do you expect a significant impact from Sammy Watkins down the stretch?I think any expectation from Watkins is risky, given his history. Even when healthy, Watkins has been a hot-or-cold player whom defenses can shut down by rolling coverage. Watkins said Wednesday that he doesnt yet feel normal on the practice field, so Id temper expectations until hes actually playing and can test his foot over 60 minutes of full-speed action. -- Mike RodakMiami DolphinsFollowing a pair of big games, is second-year receiver DeVante Parker finally in the midst of a breakout?I have been in wait-and-see mode with Parker all season, but now is as good as Ive felt about him all season. Its never been a question of talent for Parkerr.dddddddddddd Ive seen him dominate in practices and training camp. Its more about health and consistency, and it appears Parker is finally turning the corner with both. Parker said hes nearly all the way back from his nagging hamstring injury, and that showed on the field the past two games. -- James WalkerNew England PatriotsWill Malcolm Mitchells breakout Week 11 lead to a larger role, or will he settle back in behind Chris Hogan?Hogans return will slice into some of Mitchells playing time (season high 65 snaps vs. the 49ers), as Mitchell simply wont play as much as he did Sunday. Prior to Hogans injury, Mitchell had been playing mostly in the three-receiver package, but perhaps now he will see some time in two-wide receiver sets as well. The end result will likely be that the difference between the two becomes less extreme than it was prior to Mitchells breakout day. -- Mike Reiss ' ' '
