Overview

  • Los Angeles placed the left-hander on the injured list retroactive to Aug. 30 after he reported a left oblique strain around his Friday start in Houston.
  • Anderson said he is unsure whether he will return this season after pitching five scoreless innings through discomfort.
  • The Angels signed right-hander José Ureña to a Major League deal to provide immediate coverage in the bullpen or rotation.
  • If Ureña appears for the club, he would tie the modern MLB record for most teams played with in a single season at five.
  • Interim manager Ray Montgomery said the team is evaluating internal options such as Mitch Farris and Sam Aldegheri, with the next start needed Tuesday in Kansas City.
