Drury was batting .319 with an .892 OPS in 40 games since May 12 when he hurt his left shoulder. The infielder will be due to return after the All-Star break.
ANAHEIM ― Brandon Drury tried swinging a bat Friday. His left shoulder didn’t feel great. Drury was unavailable again Saturday, and Sunday the inevitable happened: The Angels placed the veteran infielder on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder contusion.
The Angels recalled shortstop Andrew Velazquez from Triple-A Salt Lake. Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar, two veterans whom the Angels acquired to bolster their infield depth last week, were both in the lineup for the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks. in pursuit of a Yasmani Grandal grounder in Thursday’s game against the White Sox. His range of motion has improved since then, but Drury said his shoulder is still sore.
“I’m finally healthy and I don’t have to get to pitches, to where I’d be out front swinging at balls that I wouldn’t be able to hit,” Moustakas said. “And just overall growth as a hitter. Learning throughout the years what I’m able to hit, what I’m not able to hit; what I’m able to hit for power, not able to hit for power.”
