Angels Place Tim Salmon on DL
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Anaheim outfielder Tim Salmon went on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a left shoulder strain.
Salmon has batted .206 with 33 runs scored, nine homers and 26 RBI in 73 games. The move was retroactive to Sunday, when Salmon got the day off after playing last week with a sore neck and shoulder.
He was re-examined by a team doctor Monday and diagnosed with a left upper cervical strain and a shoulder strain.
Salmon, the Angels' career home run leader and one of their most consistent hitters in recent years, sat out two straight games last month in hopes that rest would help him snap out of his slump.
In other moves, the Angels recalled outfielder Jeff DaVanon from Triple-A Salt Lake and recalled from rehabilitation, activated from the 15-day DL and optioned to Salt Lake catcher Jose Molina, the brother of Angels' catcher Bengie Molina.
