Garrett Anderson Could Sit for a Month


Garrett Anderson was placed on the 15-day DL by the Los Angeles Angels Friday with a tear in his right hip flexor tendon, retroactive to April 28th.

Anderson hurt himself running out a grounder against the Chicago White Sox the day before, and after an MRI exam Friday, the news wasn't pretty: he could miss up to a month. Anderson was hitting .263 with one homer and 10 RBIs in 23 games this season.

To replace him on their roster, the Angels recalled outfielder Tommy Murphy from the AAA Salt Lake Bees for his second stint with the club. Murphy played in eight games down there, hitting .345 with eight RBIs and four stolen bases.
