Angels option Shoemaker to Triple-A after bad outing

Published August 16, 2015

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The Los Angeles Angels optioned Matt Shoemaker, who failed to finish the second inning Saturday at Kansas City, to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Shoemaker allowed six runs in the 9-4 loss to the Royals. He has yielded 13 runs on 16 hits, including four homers, in 7 1-3 innings in losing his past two starts.

Shoemaker, 28, went 16-4 with a 3.04 ERA last season, but is 5-9 with a 4.76 ERA in 22 games (21 starts) in 2015.

The Angels also placed infielder Taylor Featherston (upper back strain) and pitcher Cory Rasmus (forearm strain) on the 15-day disabled list.

The team recalled right-handers Cam Bedrosian and Mike Morin and purchased shortstop Ryan Jackson's contract from Salt Lake. C.J. Wilson was transferred to the 60-day DL to make space for Jackson. Wilson is scheduled for season-ending elbow surgery to remove bone spurs.

Shortstop Erick Aybar (back strain) is in the starting lineup Sunday after missing the three previous games.
