Angels second baseman Kinsler put on 10-day DL
Ian Kinsler's Angels debut was cut short and now the start to his Angels career has been interrupted, too.
The second baseman ended up on the 10-day disabled list Saturday after experiencing tightness and fatigue in his left adductor.
Discomfort in the area kept Kinsler out of the Angels' opening-day lineup. He then started Friday against Oakland but was removed from the game entering the bottom of the ninth.
"I'll take the full 10 and not jeopardize the team and keep them shorthanded," Kinsler said. "I don't want to be dealing with this for the rest of the summer."
Signed in the offseason to be the third baseman, Cozart started at second Saturday, with Luis Valbuena taking over at third.
