Los Angeles Angels OF Taylor Ward put on IL with hamstring strain

The struggling Los Angeles Angels put starting right fielder Taylor Ward on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a mild right hamstring strain.

The move was made retroactive to Saturday when Ward was held out of the Angels' lineup because of the injury.

"It's not awful," Angels manager Joe Maddon told reporters, according to MLB.com.. "It just needs attention. The conversation indicated that hopefully it'll be the minimum amount of time. We're hoping it's not more than that."

It's the latest injury for Ward, who has also battled a groin injury and a neck stinger this season.
