The Los Angeles Angels have placed first baseman Nolan Schanuel on the 10-day injured list due to a right intercostal muscle strain and outfielder Wade Meckler on the seven-day concussion list, both effective retroactively to August 18. Schanuel has been dealing with discomfort that intensified, prompting the decision to avoid further injury, according to manager Kurt Suzuki. Meckler sustained his concussion after being struck near the right ear by a pitch during Thursday's game against the Astros. In response, the Angels recalled infielder-outfielder Christian Moore and outfielder-catcher Gustavo Campero from Triple-A Salt Lake, with both players inserted into the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.
