According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times the Los Angeles Angels have recalled catcher Carlos Perez.

#Angels DFA ex-#Dodgers C Drew Butera, recall C Carlos Perez from AAA. Perez and P Nick Tropeano acquired last winter from HOU for Conger.

Current catcher Chris Iannetta hasn’t been hitting the ball particularly well for the Angels while Prez has been tearing it up in Triple-A. Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times discussed some of Iannetta’s struggles.

With #Angels C Chris Iannetta hitting .098 I’m guessing Carlos Perez will get considerable playing time behind plate.

Although Prez didn’t start last night he is expected to get some significant playing time according to Shaikin.

#Angels call up hot-hitting C Carlos Perez from AAA, but they’re not starting him tonight ahead of Chris Iannetta (.098).

Fans are excited to see how Prez fairs on the major league level. He’ll get his shot sooner rather than later.
