The Los Angeles Angels are calling up infielder Christian Moore, the No. 8 overall pick in last year's draft, and he could make his big league debut on Friday night in Baltimore, a source confirmed to ESPN's Alden Gonzalez amid multiple reports.
The 22-year-old Moore was promoted to Triple-A in mid-May and did well enough to earn the call to try to boost an Angels offense that is 13th in runs scored in the American League. He batted .279 with 5 home runs and 32 RBIs and a .796 OPS combined at Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake this season.
