Soto was placed on the disabled list Monday with an inflamed left knee, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Soto has been replaced on the roster by Juan Graterol, and Jett Bandy is likely to take the bulk of the catcher at-bats while the veteran's out. The injury was not expected to be this serious, but with the Angels needing two healthy catchers, they decided to play it safe and let Soto heal on the disabled list.
