Angels' Gustavo Campero: Filling in for injured Adams
Campero will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
He'll occupy right field for the eighth time in nine games, with injuries to Mickey Moniak and Jordyn Adams (knee) paving the way for Campero to pick up at-bats following his Sept. 15 call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake. Moniak has since returned to action, but Adams will miss out on a fifth straight start while he tends to the knee injury. Campero has opened his big-league career by going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs through his first eight contests.
