Angels place Weaver on 15-day DL (The Associated Press)

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver has been placed on the 15-day disabled list and will undergo an MRI on his left hip.

One day after Weaver suffered his fourth consecutive defeat in the Angels' 4-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics, the Angels decided to put the right-hander on the DL to give his sore hip time to rest.

The move was made before Sunday's series finale between the Angels and Oakland.

Weaver (4-8) said that he's been bothered by soreness in his hip for some time, but doesn't think it's related to his current slump.
