Overview

  • Campero twisted his foot when his spikes got caught on the outfield wall while leaping to rob a Max Muncy home run in the eighth inning, collapsed in pain and was splinted on-field before being carted off.
  • The Angels placed the 27-year-old outfielder on the 10-day injured list with an ankle sprain, but official reports differ on whether it is his left or right ankle.
  • Campero previously missed time in May for left ankle inflammation, making clarity on this injury’s laterality key to projecting his recovery.
  • In response to the vacancy, the team designated pitcher Shaun Anderson for assignment and recalled infielder Niko Kavadas and right-hander Víctor Mederos from Triple-A Salt Lake.
  • Angels officials have not released details on the sprain’s severity and say they will update Campero’s status after imaging and further testing.
