Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim activated outfielder Josh Hamilton from the disabled list on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Hamilton has been sidelined since early April, when a head-first slide into first base cost him almost two months of the season thanks to a thumb injury which eventually required surgery.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old slugger was off to a good start, hitting .444 with a pair of homers, seven runs scored and six RBI over the first eight games.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Halos optioned pitcher Michael Kohn to Triple-A Salt Lake, selected the contract of pitcher Cam Bedrosian from Double-A Arkansas, transferred pitcher Sean Burnett to the 60-day disabled list and reinstated pitcher Dane De La Rosa from the 15-day disabled list and optioned him to Salt Lake.<\/p>\n
Kohn had gone 2-1 with a 3.04 earned run average in 25 appearances for the Angels this season.<\/p>\n
Bedrosian, son of long-time major-leaguer and 1987 NL Cy Young Award winner Steve Bedrosian, went 1-0 with a 1.47 ERA over 17 games for the Travelers after failing to allow a run in five games with Inland Empire of the California League.<\/p>\n
De La Rosa gave up two runs over one-third of an inning during his lone 2014 appearance with Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
