So what does this mean for the Los Angeles Angels? In the immediate, the Angels will call up Ji-Man Choi from Triple-A Salt Lake City to provide depth at both first base and designated hitter. Jefry Marte will again play a significant role for the Angels backing up Pujols at first and also at designated hitter along with help from Choi.
Choi did not hit well his first time in the majors as he made the Opening Day roster going 1 for 18 (.056). However since then Choi is batting .329 with four home runs 27 runs batted in.
