With Joyce headed to the IL, the Angels have recalled Michael Darrell-Hicks from the minors.

    Harvey felt it while warming up Thursday, but the injury is considered minor at the moment. Harvey was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, and with one of the Royals' top setup men sidelined, John Schreiber could move up a rung on the ladder to help Lucas Erceg and closer Carlos Estevez at the back end of the Kansas City bullpen.
