DETROIT (AP) -The Los Angeles Angels bolster their depleted bullpen Friday night, recalling two relievers from the minors and demoting two infielders.
After beating the Detroit Tigers 4-3, the Angels optioned infielders Sean Rodriguez and Kendry Morales to Triple-A Salt Lake, and recalled relievers Jose Arredondo and Rich Thompson.
“We’ve been protecting leads against a pair of great offenses in Boston and Detroit, and that uses up a lot of pitchers,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “We just need a couple extra arms.”
Scioscia said that reliever Chris Bootcheck would probably be unavailable for Saturday’s game because of a viral infection.
