ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- The Los Angeles Angels have recalled third baseman Kyle Kubitza from Triple-A Salt Lake and designated outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis for assignment.
The moves were made before Wednesday night's game against Tampa Bay.
Kubitza was scheduled to make his major league debut Wednesday, filling in for David Freese, who left Tuesday night's 8-2 win over the Rays with right hamstring tightness.
Nieuwenhuis hit .136 in 10 games with the Angels.
