Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) – Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim center fielder Peter Bourjos has been placed on the disabled list for the second time this season, this time due to a fractured bone in his right wrist.<\/p>\n
Bourjos suffered the injury after being struck by a pitch from Houston’s Jordan Lyles in Saturday’s 7-2 win over the Astros. The speedster was previously sidelined for much of May and June with a strained left hamstring, and had sat out five straight contests with a bruised thumb prior to returning to the lineup on Saturday.<\/p>\n
In just 40 games this season, Bourjos has hit .326 with three home runs and 10 RBI while stealing four bases.<\/p>\n
Outfielder Collin Cowgill was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Tuesday’s matchup against St. Louis to replace Bourjos.<\/p>\n
Cowgill began the season with the New York Mets but was designated for assignment on June 18 after batting .180 in 23 games. The Angels acquired him in a trade a week later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
