MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Los Angeles Angels have placed right-hander Dustin Moseley on the 15-day disabled list with elbow irritation.
The team purchased the contract of left-hander Dan Davidson from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
The Angels also recalled right-hander Rich Thompson from Salt Lake to fill the roster spot opened when Vladimir Guerrero was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday with a torn pectoral muscle.
Both pitchers will work out of Los Angeles’ bullpen.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia originally planned to bring up a position player to replace Guerrero, but Moseley lasted just three innings in his Friday start and five relievers were forced to work in Los Angeles’ 11-9 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
