Overview

• Jorge Soler was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 24 with lower back inflammation as the club awaits further testing on his sciatic nerve.
• Chris Taylor re-fractured his left hand Friday during a diving catch and is expected to miss about six weeks, likely returning in September.
• Outfielder Gustavo Campero and utility man Scott Kingery were recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to cover the vacancies left by Soler and Taylor.
• Soler’s absence deprives the middle of the lineup of a power bat, while Taylor’s loss reduces the Angels’ defensive versatility and bench depth.
• With the team hovering near .500 and the trade deadline approaching, the Angels will lean heavily on organizational depth in their push for a wild card berth.
