The Angels just can’t seem to escape the injury bug, unfortunately. After losing Dexter Fowler for the season this weekend, Joe Maddon told reporters that third baseman Anthony Rendon will be placed on the 10-day Injured List with a left groin strain.
Maddon was hopeful about Rendon missing only 10 days, but he was hesitant to put a time table on it. With Rendon being out for the next week at least, the club recalled infielder Jack Mayfield from the Alternate Site.
That wasn’t the only move the club made, as they optioned pitcher Jaime Barria and called up right-handed pitcher Ben Rowen as well.
