Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim activated catcher Chris Iannetta off the 15-day disabled list Saturday.

Iannetta has been on the shelf since May 2 after undergoing surgery on his right wrist because of an injury suffered when he was hit by a pitch.

In 26 games this season, the 29-year-old is batting just .197 with three home runs and nine RBI.

The Angels optioned catcher John Hester to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room on the roster for Iannetta.

Hester hit .212 with three home runs, four RBI and 14 runs scored through 38 games for the Angels.
