CHICAGO – Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell left Saturday’s game against the Chicago White Sox with left hip tightness after beating out an infield single in the top of the fifth inning.
Adell, 25, grabbed his left side soon after hitting the bag at first. He attempted to walk off the pain but ended up coming out in favor of pinch runner Kyren Paris. Paris took over for Adell in centerfield.
Adell has been in and out of the lineup during his six years with the Angels, playing in a career high 130 games last season though he hit only .207. With Mike Trout moving to right field this season — and Mickey Moniak being let go — Adell was going to get the bulk of his playing time in center. He has a career .649 OPS in 309 games, all with the Angels.
Adell is day-to-day with the injury.
