Green exits with right-knee discomfort

DETROIT -- Angels second baseman Grant Green exited Tuesday's game after three innings with discomfort in his right knee, hours after the team placed its everyday second baseman, Johnny Giavotella, on the disabled list with an undisclosed illness.

Green, expected to be the everyday guy with Giavotella on the shelf, could've sustained the injury either diving for a grounder in the first or trying to break up a double play in the second.
