Oft-injured Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday because of a left oblique strain.
The move is retroactive to Sunday. In other moves, the Angels placed right-hander Ben Joyce (right shoulder inflammation) on the 15-day IL, retroactive to Saturday; transferred left-hander Matt Moore (left forearm strain) from the 15- to the 60-day injured list, ending his season; recalled right-hander Guillo Zuniga from Triple-A Salt Lake; and selected the contract of rookie first baseman Eric Wagaman from Salt Lake.
Rendon, 34, played Saturday and missed games Sunday and Monday. This season, he is batting .218 with 10 doubles, no triples or home runs and 14 RBIs in 57 games.
He has not played in more than 58 games in a season since joining the Angels in 2020 on a seven-year, $245 million contract. He has sustained injuries to his left knee, right hip, left hamstring, groin, left wrist and back. Earlier this season, he missed 2 1/2 months because of a hamstring strain, and later, 10 days because of lower back inflammation.
Joyce, 23, is 2-0 with four saves, a 2.08 ERA, 14 walks and 33 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings over 31 games (one start) this season.
Moore, 35, was 5-3 with one save, a 5.03 ERA, 26 walks and 41 strikeouts in 48 1/3 innings over 51 games (no starts) this season.
Zuniga, 25, has appeared in five games for the Angels and has a 6.43 ERA with one save, five walks and three strikeouts in seven innings.
Wagaman, 27, has not played in the major leagues. He was batting .320 with three home runs and 14 RBIs, a .355 on-base percentage and a .500 slugging percentage in 27 games at Triple-A.
