Angels place Nolan Schanuel, Wade Meckler on injured list

The Los Angeles Angels have placed first baseman Nolan Schanuel on the 10-day injured list with a right intercostal muscle strain, and outfielder Wade Meckler on the seven-day concussion list, both retroactive to Friday. Schanuel's injury has been a gradual issue, and manager Kurt Suzuki decided to take precautionary measures. Meckler was hit by a 90.6 mph sinker from Astros left-hander Bryan King, which caused him to be motionless on the ground for a few seconds before getting up with help from trainers.

The Angels have also recalled infielder-outfielder Christian Moore and outfielder-catcher Gustavo Campero from Triple-A Salt Lake, both of whom were in the starting lineup for Saturday night's game at Texas.
