Notes

- Tim Lincecum has signed with the Angels, who will, at least in the short term, grant him his wish to continue on with his career as a starting pitcher.

- The Marlins yesterday optioned RHP Nick Wittgren to AAA New Orleans in favor of LHP Jarlin Garcia from AA Jacksonville.

- Kendrys Flores is day to day with a right shoulder strain after exiting his start against the Washington Nationals on Saturday.

Bold Prediction: Marlins take game one 5-2.
