Angels' Chris Jones: Called up to majors

Jones was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Jones arrived in the Angels' organization via a late-March trade, and has since posted a 6.32 ERA and .323 opponent batting average through nine starts in the minors. Those numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, however, as Jones has been pitching in the Pacific Coast League, which is well-regarded for being exceptionally hitter-friendly. Now in the majors, look for the left-hander to be utilized primarily in long relief.
