Angels placed RHP Alex Meyer on the 60-day disabled list with a right shoulder injury.

The move clears a 40-man roster space for outfielder Jabari Blash, whom the Angels acquired on Wednesday in a trade with the Yankees. Meyer underwent labrum surgery on his right shoulder last September and will reportedly be sidelined until at least the beginning of the 2019 season. Feb 21 - 8:00 PM

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Martin Maldonado
	2	Rene Rivera 10-Day DL Rene Rivera underwent successful surgery on Friday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. The veteran backstop is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. Jose Briceno will continue to function as the primary backup to Martin Maldonado while Rivera is sidelined. May 25
1B	1	Luis Valbuena
	2	Jose Fernandez
2B	1	Ian Kinsler
SS	1	Andrelton Simmons
3B	1	Zack Cozart 10-Day DL Angels placed INF Zack Cozart on the 10-day disabled list with a left shoulder subluxation. Cozart is one of four hobbled Angels to be placed on the disabled list on Friday. Luis Valbuena will start in his place on Friday and should see additional time at third base while Cozart is on the shelf. Jun 15
	2	Jefry Marte 10-Day DL Angels placed 1B/3B Jefry Marte on the 10-day disabled list with a left wrist sprain. Marte suffered the injury Monday night against the Mariners when an off-target throw took his glove into Dee Gordon as Gordon was running up the first base line. It's unclear how long Marte might be sidelined. He's batting .262/.311/.440 with three home runs in 39 games this season. Jun 12

RF	1	Kole Calhoun
	2	Chris Young Sidelined Chris Young was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a hamstring injury. If it's diagnosed as a strain, he will probably be placed on the 10-day disabled list. Young was 1-for-3 before getting replaced in the Angels' lineup by Luis Valbuena. The veteran outfielder is batting just .184 this season. Jun 20
DH	1	Albert Pujols
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Garrett Richards 10-Day DL Angels placed LHP Garrett Richards on the 10-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain. No word yet on the results of his MRI or on the severity of the injury just yet. Richards and rotation-mate Nick Tropeano each landed on the disabled list on Friday, which will certainly test the Angels' pitching depth in the coming days. Jun 15
	2	Shohei Ohtani 10-Day DL Angels manager Mike Scioscia on Monday said that the team would consider letting Shohei Ohtani (elbow) hit even if he's not cleared to pitch yet. That's if the doctors OK it, of course, and any decision on that won't come for another 3-4 weeks. Worth noting is that this comes on the heels of MLB.com's Jon Morosi reporting that the Angels are "cautiously optimistic" Ohtani will play again this season "at least as a hitter and possibly in both roles." Perhaps the club will consider using Ohtani just to hit this season even if the rest and rehab for pitching purposes doesn't work. Jun 11
	3	Matt Shoemaker 60-Day DL Matt Shoemaker (forearm) is expected to resume throwing in six weeks. Shoemaker had surgery Tuesday to repair a split tendon in his forearm. The injury wasn't appearing on MRIs and was only discovered after exploratory surgery. Shoemaker says the injury was a frustrating source of pain for him recently, and he's relieved to have a resolution. He'll begin a throwing program in six weeks and seems as though he would be eyeing a return at the start of the 2019 season, given how his year has gone to date. Jun 2
	4	Andrew Heaney
	5	Tyler Skaggs Sidelined Tyler Skaggs (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. After that, the club will make a determination on when he'll be able to return to the rotation. The expectation remains that he'll pitch on Monday against the Royals. Felix Pena should draw another start for the Angels on Sunday. Jun 22
	6	Nick Tropeano 10-Day DL Angels placed RHP Nick Tropeano on the 10-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. For the moment, it sounds as though it's more of a precautionary measure than it is a serious issue, but regardless it's yet another injury that the Angels will have to overcome in their starting rotation. Jun 15
	7	Jaime Barria
	8	John Lamb
	9	J.C. Ramirez 60-Day DL Angels transferred RHP J.C. Ramirez to the 60-day disabled list. Nothing has changed in the recovery process for Ramirez, this was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team's 40-man roster. Ramirez will be sidelined until midway through the 2019 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. May 4
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Blake Parker
	2	Cam Bedrosian
	3	Jim Johnson 10-Day DL Angels placed RHP Jim Johnson on the 10-day disabled list with a strained back. As with the rest of the Angels' injuries on Friday, the severity and how long Johnson may be sidelined aren't yet known. The 34-year-old hurler has done a decent job for the Angels this season, registering a 3.93 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 31/13 K/BB ratio across his 34 1/3 innings. Jun 15
	4	Jose Alvarez
	5	Noe Ramirez
	6	Justin Anderson
	7	Akeel Morris
	8	Eduardo Paredes
	9	Keynan Middleton 60-Day DL Keynan Middleton underwent successful Tommy John surgery on Tuesday. Middleton needed UCL reconstruction, and now will begin the long road back from the surgery. There's a chance he could return at some point in 2019, but it's more likely we'll see him back on the mound in 2020. May 23
	10	Blake Wood 60-Day DL Angels transferred RHP Blake Wood from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Wood underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on May 31. He'll miss the remainder of the 2018 season and a large chunk of the 2019 campaign. Jun 12
	11	Felix Pena
	12	Jake Jewell
