The Story: The Angels called up Marc Krauss and designated Ryan Mattheus for assignment.
The Monkey Says: Krauss is going to get his shot at cracking the DH platoon. He was off to a very slow start in Triple-A before catching fire two weeks ago. He probably isn’t the answer, but it doesn’t hurt to give it a look. Mattheus only lasted one game and will now be exposed to waivers or possibly elect free agency. That is what the Angels get for calling him up for just one game instead of calling up someone else who had options left.
