ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels have placed infielder Luis Rengifo on the injured list for the second time this season due to right wrist inflammation. The move was made before Saturday night's game against the New York Mets.
Rengifo missed 15 games last month due to wrist problems. The injury flared up again during an eighth inning at-bat on Wednesday against Colorado. He then left Friday's game against the Mets in the fifth inning due to the same issue.
Rengifo was third in the majors with a .315 batting average when he went on the injured list on July 4. He went 6 for 32 in nine games after returning from the IL and saw his average drop to .300.
The Angels called up infielder Charles Leblanc from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the open roster spot.
