ANAHEIM -- The Angels recalled third baseman Kyle Kubitza from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday in a corresponding move after placing David Freese on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right index finger.
Kubitza -- ranked by MLB.com as the Angels' No. 5 prospect -- was on schedule to arrive at Angel Stadium around game time of the Angels' series finale against the Twins. Taylor Featherston started at third base for the Angels on Thursday, but Kubitza could get regular playing time at third while Freese is hurt. Freese is expected to miss at least a few weeks after being hit in the index finger by a pitch in Wednesday's game.
