ANAHEIM – Angel Center Player Mike Trout The MRI test revealed that the attacker All-Star was dealing with a right strain of the calf. The injury is considered minor and it is day-to-day.

Trout modified the calf while chasing a ball in the outside field in the first leg of Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners. The Angels recalled his teammate Michael Hermosillo of Triple-A Salt Lake to replace while Trout recovered. Rookie left-winger Jose Suarez was chosen by Triple-A to give way to Hermosillo, who started in the middle pack and finished ninth against Houston.

Hermosillo offers the Angels three experienced players in good health, joining Justin Upton and Kole Calhoun. Private Brian Goodwin, who has been wounded on his right wrist since July 2, is expected to be reinstated from the injury list on Tuesday.

Hermosillo, 24, hit .250 / 336 / 0.444 with four homers, four steals and 13 RBIs in 30 games with Salt Lake after missing the first two months of the season with a muscle injury that required surgery in low season.

"It was very frustrating at the beginning, to see everyone leaving in the spring and not having the ability to go out and even fight for a job," Hermosillo said. "But I took what I could."

Hermosillo, ranked 13th in the club's hopes by MLB Pipeline, said he had been working on improving his mechanics this year and that he had begun to feel more comfortable recently. Hermosillo averaged 0.933 OPS in 10 games in July after averaging 0.703 OPS in 20 games in June.

"It was rather odd at first, just because I did not have spring training, I felt a bit in a hurry," Hermosillo said. "It was as if the pitches were a bit different compared to a season after 100 practice batts during the spring training, but I was starting to get under the skin towards the end and feel really good . "

With Suarez opting for the triple A, the starting pitcher of the Angels for the opening game of the Friday series in Seattle has to be determined. Right-hander Jaime Barria could be a candidate, but he fought against Salt Lake on Saturday, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in four innings and two-thirds in Las Vegas.
