Angels placed LHP Yusei Kikuchi on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 30, with left shoulder inflammation.

The Angels are still reviewing the results of Kikuchi’s recent MRI exam, so there’s no word yet or how long the 34-year-old left-hander is expected to be sidelined for. The fact that he has already been placed on the injured list doesn’t bode well though. Tayler Saucedo was promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move on Sunday.
