CLEVELAND — The Angels will add infielder Kaleb Cowart to the major league roster before Tuesday’s opener of a three-game series against the Cleveland Indians. The Angels will have a roster spot because they placed Alex Meyer on the disabled list on Monday night.

Cowart, 25, was hitting .311 with an .865 OPS at Triple-A Salt Lake City, including nine hits in 12 at-bats over his last three games.

It is unclear how the Angels plan to use Cowart. A third baseman for most of his pro career, Cowart has been playing second base primarily for the past month at Triple-A. The Angels last week released second baseman Danny Espinosa, leaving the job split between Nick Franklin and Cliff Pennington.

Cowart was in the majors for one game last month, when Yunel Escobar was hurt. He had two hits and was sent back down the next day.
