HOUSTON -- The Angels placed left-handed pitcher Tyler Anderson on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain Sunday (retroactive to Saturday, Aug. 30) and signed right-handed pitcher José Ureña to a Major League contract.

Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said Anderson felt the injury on Thursday and Friday after he flew back from being at home on the paternity list.

“It was one of those things when he flew back from being home on the paternity list, he said that he felt a little stiff,” Montgomery said. “He tried to work through it just in his pregame stuff the day before, and he might have irritated it a little bit, but he felt like he was good enough to pitch. Then, as he pitched, he was still feeling it. He woke up the next day, and it felt a lot worse.”
