MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels placed infielder Maicer Izturis on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation and recalled right-hander Jordan Walden from Triple-A.
Izturis was injured diving for a ball Thursday in Boston and did not play in the Angels’ first two games in Minnesota. He missed 45 days during two previous DL stints this year, once with right shoulder inflammation and once with a strained left forearm.
In 56 games, Izturis is hitting .245 with three home runs and 25 RBI.
Walden will be making his major league debut. He began the year at Double-A Arkansas, going 1-1 with a 3.35 ERA in 38 appearances. In six appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake City, Walden posted a 4.05 ERA, allowing three earned runs in 6 2-3 innings.
