ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -The Los Angeles Angels have activated slugger Vladimir Guerrero from the disabled list and optioned outfielder Reggie Willits to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Guerrero has yet to play right field this season because of a torn pectoral muscle on the right side of his chest. He first felt discomfort after making a throw during an exhibition game April 2 at Dodger Stadium.
The 2004 AL MVP and eight-time All-Star served as a designated hitter in eight games before he was sidelined, going 8 for 32 with a homer and three RBIs. He hadn’t played since April 15, and the Angels went 20-15 in his absence. The team has won 21 of the last 25 games in which he has homered.
The Angels announced the move before Monday’s game against the Chicago White Sox.
