NEW YORK – Grant Green can’t get a foothold in the major leagues.
Green was on his way back to Salt Lake City on Sunday, less than two weeks after the Angels had recalled him. The Angels needed to make a roster move because they needed bullpen coverage after getting 7 1/3 innings of relief following Garrett Richards short outing on Saturday. Right-hander Drew Rucinski was recalled.
The Angels could have reasonably sent out either Green or Efren Navarro.
“I don’t know if there were many projected at-bats for Greenie, just like there might not be for Efren,” Manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday.
