NEW YORK -- The Angels placed right-hander Bud Norris on the 10-day disabled list with right knee inflammation on Tuesday, though they're hopeful that they won't be without their closer for long.
Manager Mike Scioscia said Norris' knee flared up following Sunday's game against the Royals. An MRI exam revealed no structural damage, and Scioscia said the Angels believe Norris will be able to return to action after the minimum 10 days. Norris' malady first cropped up last month and forced him to prematurely exit an outing in Miami.
"It just seemed like it acted up again, so we wanted to take a chance to take a half-step backward, let it calm down," Scioscia said.
