As if the Albert Pujols roster move wasn’t enough to take in, the Angels did plenty more a couple of hours later.
The Angels placed right-handed reliever Chris Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. According to manager Joe Maddon, it doesn’t look to be a lengthy injury and the club is hopeful he’ll be able to return once the 10 days are up. Rodriguez has been great for LA this season, posting a 2.30 ERA in eight games. He’s only appeared in one outing since April 29.
Max Stassi was also placed on the IL, but this one being the concussion IL, which is only seven days.
