MINNEAPOLIS--The Angels placed reliever LaTroy Hawkins on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of a broken pinky finger on his right (throwing) hand, an injury he suffered while fielding Omar Vizquel’s game-ending line drive in Sunday’s 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Hawkins will be sidelined from four to six weeks, according to the Angels' medical staff.
To replace Hawkins, who had a 1.08 earned run average in 10 games, the Angels called up right-hander David Pauley from triple-A Salt Lake. Pauley, signed in spring training after being released by the Detroit Tigers, was 2-0 with a 2.29 ERA in seven games, three of them starts, for Salt Lake.
