04/23/2009 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim placed pitcher Darren Oliver on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday with a strained left triceps and transferred Kelvim Escobar from the 15-day to the 60-day DL.

The moves were made in order to make room for Thursday's starter Matt Palmer, who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Oliver suffered the injury on Saturday and had a 2.35 earned-run average in 7 2/3 innings this year.

Escobar (shoulder surgery) is not expected to return to the rotation until June.
