MILWAUKEE — Los Angeles Angels pitcher José Soriano went on the 15-day injured list with a bruised right forearm Thursday, a day after he was hit by a line drive.
Soriano said through an interpreter that he feels “a little bit better than yesterday” but added that “I’m still fighting.”
The right-hander left Los Angeles’ 9-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday after being struck by a liner from Jake Bauers.
Los Angeles recalled left-handed pitcher Sam Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill Soriano’s spot on the roster.
“How I feel right now, I don’t think there’s a reason to force anything,” Soriano said.
Soriano, who turns 27 on Oct. 20, went 10-11 this season with a 4.26 ERA in 31 starts. He struck out 152 batters in 169 innings.
