The Los Angeles Angels placed right-hander Nick Tropeano on the 10-day disabled list because of right shoulder inflammation on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Angels placed right-hander Nick Tropeano on the 10-day disabled list because of right shoulder inflammation on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old is 5-6 with a 4.74 ERA in 14 starts this season. He injured his shoulder Monday when he exited after 62 pitches against the Detroit Tigers. He earned the victory despite the early departure as he limited the Tigers to one run on one hit in five innings. A similar injury cost him a month on the disabled list earlier this season.

In a corresponding move, the Angels recalled left-hander Williams Jerez from Triple-A Salt Lake. The Angels acquired the 26-year-old southpaw a week ago as part of a trade that sent second baseman Ian Kinsler to the Boston Red Sox.

Jerez never reached the big leagues with Boston despite being a second-round pick in the 2011 draft. He is 2-1 with a 3.62 ERA in 36 relief appearances this season with Triple-A Salt Lake and Triple-A Pawtucket.
