Paris (undisclosed) was placed on Triple-A Salt Lake's 7-day injured list Tuesday, Jared Tims of Talkin' Halos reports.
Paris was hurt while attempting to make a diving catch in the outfield July 3, and he hadn't returned to action before he landed on the injured list Tuesday. The nature of his injury hasn't been announced, nor is it clear how long he's expected to be out. Paris was red hot for the Angels to begin the season but faded after mid-April and was sent down to Salt Lake in late May. He had been heating up in the minors prior to getting hurt, going 8-for-19 with two homers over his previous five games.

Angels' Kyren Paris: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Paris from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
He's taking the roster spot vacated by Kevin Newman, who was placed on the paternity list. Paris has slashed only .188/.340/.363 since being demoted to Salt Lake in late May and will likely be with the big club only until Newman returns later this week.
The Angels optioned Paris to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Paris will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to utility player Chris Taylor, who signed a one-year contract with the Angels on Monday. Though he began the season on a high note with a 1.263 OPS in his first 15 games, Paris has slashed .106/.165/.176 with two steals, one home run, three RBI and a 51.6 percent strikeout rate in 91 plate appearances since May 16. The 23-year-old will likely need to show improved plate discipline at Triple-A before getting another call-up.

Angels' Kyren Paris: Two steals in win
Rotowire
Paris went 1-for-2 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
Paris has started just two of the last six games, as he's struggled to maintain a large share of playing time while Matthew Lugo's been swinging a hot bat. Prior to Tuesday, Paris had gone 1-for-22 over his previous seven games dating back to May 8. The 23-year-old is slashing .198/.279/.397 with a 10:53 BB:K, seven steals, six home runs, 11 RBI and 19 runs scored over 40 contests this season. The poor plate discipline and overall lack of hitting are likely to keep Paris in a part-time role, particularly if Lugo continues to command a majority of the starts in center field.

Angels' Kyren Paris: Snaps long power drought
Rotowire
Paris went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Wednesday in a 5-4 win against the Blue Jays.
Paris went deep five times in his first 10 games this season, but he entered Wednesday without a long ball across his subsequent 21 contests. That drought ended in the seventh inning, when Paris launched a 410-foot solo shot to center field. For good measure, the infielder/outfielder drew a four-pitch walk to lead off the ninth, setting the stage for what ended up as a walk-off win for his team. Paris slumped badly in middle and late April, leading to his current poor .228 batting average on the season, but he's showing positive signs in May, slashing .313/.389/.563 with three RBI through five games, albeit with a 38.9 percent strikeout rate.

Angels' Kyren Paris: Showing signs of life at plate
Rotowire
Paris went 1-for-3 with two RBI in a 5-2 win against Detroit on Saturday.
Paris plated a pair of runs with a sixth-inning single for his first RBI since April 9 -- a span of 18 games. After a scorching start to the season, the 23-tear-old went into a major funk, batting just .111 with a 48.3 percent strikeout rate during his slump. Paris has shown small signs of emerging from the cold spell over his past two contests, going 2-for-6 with a double, though he's also struck out three times. Despite the lack of production, Paris has managed to hold onto a near-everyday spot in the Angels' lineup, but it remains to be seen whether his role will change when Yoan Moncada (thumb) is ready to return from the injured list.
Paris isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Paris has cooled off tremendously after a hot start to the season, going 0-for-21 with 12 strikeouts over his last eight games. He'll take a seat for the second game in a row Saturday while Tim Anderson starts at second base and bats ninth.

Angels' Kyren Paris: Sitting amid slump
Rotowire
Paris is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Paris is hitless with 12 strikeouts in his past seven games and will get a day to regroup Friday. The 23-year-old still has an .874 OPS for the season since he clubbed five homers in his first 12 contests, but his offensive performance has fallen off drastically over the past couple weeks. Tim Anderson is starting at the keystone and batting ninth in Friday's series opener.
