ANAHEIM, Calif., June 10 (UPI) -- Raul Mondesi of the injury-riddled Anaheim Angels could be lost for the season with a thigh injury.
The veteran outfielder was placed on the disabled list Wednesday, the day after he tore his right quadriceps muscle while running to first base in a loss to Milwaukee.
Mondesi said on the team's Web site he will be out indefinitely.
"He plays hard and can play through a lot of pain and a lot of nicks," said Manager Mike Scioscia. "But this one is going to take some time."
The injury came just over two weeks after Mondesi joined the team. He signed with Anaheim on May 29 after starting the season with Pittsburgh, and was batting .118 in 34 at-bats with the Angels.
He joins outfielder Garret Anderson, third baseman Troy Glaus, first baseman Darin Erstad, designated hitter Tim Salmon, setup man Brendan Donnelly and closer Troy Percival on the DL.
