The Angels are expected to make a roster move this afternoon and indications are they will recall outfielder Mike Trout from Double A Arkansas. Vernon Wells, who hurt his back crashing into the left-field wall earlier this week, will likely go on the disabled list to create a spot for Trout.
Trout was hitting .333 since being sent back down to the minors earlier this month. In a 14-game trial with the Angels earlier this summer Trout, 20, hit .163 in 43 at-bats.
Wells, meanwhile, has the second-lowest batting average in the majors at .200 and his on-base percentage is a dismal .231.
The Angels, looking for offense, recalled switch-hitting catcher Hank Conger from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
