Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Placed on IL

The Angels placed Grissom on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left wrist sprain.

Grissom received a cortisone shot last week to help treat his injured hand. Angels skipper Kurt Suzuki noted that the 25-year-old has progressed well since then and has begun hitting off a tee and fielding grounders, but Grissom won't be ready to go for the start of the season. Once healthy, Grissom is expected to fill a utility infield role for the Angels.
