The struggling Los Angeles Angels released slumping outfielder Bobby Abreu on Friday night.
The 38-year-old, a two-time All-Star, had been relegated to part-time duty and was batting .208 in 24 at-bats for the last-place Angels (6-14).
Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said highly regarded outfielder Mike Trout will be called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Abreu on the roster.
Abreu, who is in the last season of a $27 million, three-year contract and is due $9 million this year, was given the news following a 3-2 loss to Cleveland, the Angels' fifth straight defeat.
