The Los Angeles Angels have placed infielder Zack Cozart on the 10-day injured list because of left shoulder inflammation as part of a series of moves announced Tuesday before their game against the Oakland Athletics.
Outfielder Cesar Puello was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to take his place.
Cozart, who is hitting .124 with zero homers and seven RBIs in 38 games, had season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder last year.
A free agent in the 2017 offseason, Cozart left the Cincinnati Reds to sign a $38 million, three-year contract with the Angels and agreed to switch positions from shortstop to third base.
