Angels put Hunter and Guerrero on DL
ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Los Angeles Angels placed outfielders Torii Hunter and Vladimir Guerrero on the 15-day disabled list Friday before the start of a three-game series with the New York Yankees.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia put Guerrero and Hunter’s timeline to return at three to four weeks.
“It just depends on how it heals,” Scoiscia said. “It’s the range we’re probably looking at, but I don’t think anyone has a crystal ball on how these things are going to heal so we’re going to take it one step at a time.”
Hunter, who was recently selected to his third All-Star game, has an adductor strain on his right side, which will prevent him from participating in next week’s festivities in St. Louis.
Guerrero strained a muscle behind his left knee and sustained a lower hamstring strain July 7 against the Texas Rangers while fielding a single to right-center by Texas’ Elvis Andrus.
Trembley suspended
NEW YORK — Baltimore manager Dave Trembley has been suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount following his ejection in the first inning of the Orioles’ game against the Seattle Mariners earlier this week.
Bob Watson, Major League Baseball’s vice president in charge of discipline, said Friday that Trembley violated a rule that states an ejected manager must take no further part in a game.
Trembley was tossed Tuesday night for arguing a baserunning call.
