ANAHEIM -- The Angels made a flurry of transactions before Saturday night's game against the A's, recalling right-handed reliever Akeel Morris and infielder Ryan Schimpf and optioning right-hander Parker Bridwell and infielder Nolan Fontana to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Adding Morris will provide some cover for the Angels' overtaxed bullpen, which has pitched 15 2/3 innings over the last two games after Tyler Skaggs and Bridwell were both knocked out of their starts early.
"He's an arm that has pitched in the Major Leagues," manager Mike Scioscia said.
