LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Angels optioned infielder Casey Kotchman to Triple-A Salt Lake and placed right-hander Kelvim Escobar on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday night as they reduced their active roster to the 25-man limit.
The defending AL West champions also purchased the contract of infielder Lou Merloni from the minor leagues and transferred outfielder/designated hitter Tim Salmon from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL.
The Angels' roster includes 11 pitchers, three catchers, six infielders and five outfielders. Right-hander Matt Hensley and second baseman Adam Kennedy also are starting the season on the DL.
