Christian Moore Injury: Progressing in recovery

Moore (thumb) has started baseball activities, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Moore was called up by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake in mid-June and played in 18 games for the big club before landing on the IL in early July due to a left thumb sprain. His return to baseball activities is an encouraging sign, and the 23-year-old will look to progress enough in his recovery to swing a bat.
