The Angels optioned Moore to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Moore joined the active roster last week and went 4-for-20 with an RBI and 11 strikeouts while appearing in six games. With Jose Siri returning from the paternity list Saturday, Moore will now head back to the minors, where he sports a 1.053 OPS across 252 plate appearances. If his bat heats up again at Triple-A, the 23-year-old could draw consideration for another promotion later this summer.

The Angels reinstated Siri from the paternity list Saturday.

Siri is active for the Angels after spending the last couple of days on paternity leave.

However, Siri is not in the starting lineup Saturday as Josh Lowe will remain in center field and bat ninth. Christian Moore was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room for Siri on the roster.

Ullola is likely to serve as a low-leverage reliever while he's up with Houston.
