Scott Schebler Called Up By Angels
3 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels purchased the contract of outfielder Scott Schebler from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday and optioned infielder/outfielder Kean Wong to Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Schebler had just four hits in 27 at-bats (.148) with 11 strikeouts with the Angels earlier this year, but he had an .878 OPS with eight homers and 31 RBI in 40 games down on the farm. The left-handed hitter is in left field and is batting sixth against New York Yankees right-hander Michael King on Monday. There is playing time available in Anaheim in left field with Justin Upton on the injured list, so Schebler could become a short-term power option in AL-only leagues. Wong had a weak .482 OPS for the Angels this season.
