Angels' Ryan Schimpf: Recalled from Triple-A

Schimpf was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Schimpf will take the roster spot of Nick Tropeano (shoulder), who was sent to the disabled list in a corresponding move. It could be a short stay with the big-league club for Schimpf, however, as the Angels will need to clear a roster spot prior to Thursday's game for Jaime Barria, who is scheduled to start. The 30-year-old Schimpf, who is 1-for-5 with a homer and a pair of walks in four major-league appearances this season, will provide a left-handed bat off the bench during his time with the Angels.
