- To fill Moore's roster spot, the Angels promoted infielder Chad Stevens from Triple-A Salt Lake, where he hit.307 with 14 home runs this season and showed defensive versatility.

- The roster moves reflect the Angels' need to adjust amid injuries to key players and highlight Stevens seizing a major league chance during the team’s ongoing patchwork infield situation.
