Angels place 2B Christian Moore (thumb) on 10-day IL
July 4 - The Los Angeles Angels placed rookie second baseman Christian Moore on the 10-day injured list on Thursday because of a left thumb sprain. In a corresponding move, the Angels selected the contract of shortstop Chad Stevens from Triple-A Salt Lake. Stevens was slated to bat ninth in the order and start at second base in his major league debut on Thursday at Atlanta. Moore, 22, dove while attempting to grab Ozzie Albies' grounder up the middle for a single and left the game in the sixth inning of an 8-3 loss to the host Braves on Wednesday. Moore was replaced by Kevin Newman. "Anytime you see somebody like (Moore) have an injury like that, you fear the worst," Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said. He said that Moore missing two weeks might be "looking at the best-case scenario." Moore made his major league debut on June 13. He is batting .189 (10-for-53) with three home runs and eight RBIs in 18 games. The Angels selected Moore with the eighth overall pick of the 2024 MLB Draft. Stevens, 26, was batting .307 with 14 homers and 43 RBIs in 72 games at Salt Lake. The Angels also released right-hander Hector Neris, 36, who was 3-0 with a 5.14 ERA, seven walks and 19 strikeouts in 14 innings over 21 relief appearances this season. Neris also pitched this season for the Braves and was 0-1 with a 45.00 ERA after allowing five earned runs over one inning, giving him a combined 7.80 ERA for 15 innings in 2025. --Field Level Media

Angels place rookie second baseman Christian Moore on the injured list with a sprained left thumb
The Los Angeles Angels placed rookie second baseman Christian Moore on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left thumb on Thursday. Moore left the Angels' 8–3 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night with the injury. Moore suffered the injury when he dove for Ozzie Albies' ground ball in the sixth inning. Moore's hand bent awkwardly when he hit the ground. Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said he was grateful Moore would not require surgery, though he wouldn't put a timetable on how much time the rookie may miss. 'Anytime you see somebody like him have an injury like that, you fear the worst,' Montgomery said, adding the hope Moore may miss two weeks 'may be looking at the best-case scenario.' Moore, a 2024 first-round draft pick from Tennessee, was hitting .189 in 53 at-bats following his promotion to the Angels on June 13. Infielder Chad Stevens, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake, moved into the starting lineup at second base on Thursday night in his major league debut. 'He's been playing really well,' Montgomery said of Stevens. 'He's done everything he can do to earn this opportunity.' The 26-year-old Stevens was hitting .307 with 14 homers at Salt Lake. The Angels released right-hander Héctor Neris, who had a 7.80 ERA in 23 games.
