Zeferjahn was removed from Friday's game against the Guardians due to an injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
There's no word yet on what exactly is bothering Zeferjahn, but the Angels should have an update on his status in the near future. The 27-year-old righty has been great since reaching the majors last season, posting a 1.93 ERA and 0.86 WHIP over 18.2 innings.
The Angels selected Zeferjahn's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Zeferjahn was part of the return package in the trade that sent Luis Garcia to Boston. After stumbling to a 5.47 ERA with a 31:17 K:BB across 24.2 innings with the Red Sox's Triple-A affiliate, Zeferjahn has tallied a 2.35 ERA and an 8:1 K:BB in 7.2 innings for Salt Lake. The 26-year-old will take Mike Baumann's spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters.

The Angels acquired Zeferjahn, outfielder Matthew Lugo, infielder Niko Kavadas and right-hander Yeferson Vargas from the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Luis Garcia, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
A 26-year-old righty with zero big-league experience, Zeferjahn has a 5.47 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 31 strikeouts in 24.2 innings across 18 appearances for Triple-A Worcester. He has seven saves across Double-A and Triple-A this season and has no trouble missing bats, but his 14.8 percent walk rate at Triple-A is a red flag, especially given his age.
