May 10: INF joins active roster; INF placed on 10-day IL
The Angels added Goodrum to their active roster on Friday, a day after they claimed him on waivers from the Rays. He offers them a versatile player who can handle all four infield spots and has outfield experience. Goodrum started at third base on Friday against the Royals. He hit .188 in nine games with Tampa Bay before being designated for assignment on Monday. Goodrum replaces Adrianza, who was placed on the injured list with back spasms. Adrianza last played on Wednesday and underwent an MRI exam on Friday. But the Angels are hopeful it's a minor injury.

Guillorme, 29, hit .150 with two doubles and three RBIs in 10 games with the Braves this season. He's a career .258/.341/.331 hitter in 345 games with the Mets and Braves. Rendon was transferred to the 60-day IL to make room for him, but the move doesn't affect Rendon's timeline.
