The addition of veteran first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. to the Angels’ active roster Tuesday came at the cost of a veteran outfielder.
Chris Taylor has a fracture in his left hand, the Angels announced, and will go on the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Athletics. Wade will be active for the middle game of the three-game series at Angel Stadium.

Taylor, 34, has a .200 batting average in 10 games since he signed with the Angels after being designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers. He’s seen time at four positions: right field, center field, left field and second base.
Four of Taylor’s six hits have gone for extra bases, including a home run Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. He had another apparent home run robbed last week at the center field wall by Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez.
