The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Melky Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list with a left knee strain Thursday night.

Cabrera was replaced in left field by Rajai Davis to start the fourth inning of Toronto’s 8-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The 28-year-old, who was back in the lineup after two days off, struggled in the field on Thursday before being removed from the game.

Right-hander Neil Wagner has been recalled from triple-A Buffalo to take his place on the roster.

Cabrera recently returned from a stint on the DL with left knee tendinitis. He entered Thursday’s contest batting .280 with three home runs and 30 RBIs in 87 games.
