(Photo by G Fiume/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Los Angeles Angels have placed starting pitcher Jason Vargas on the disabled list with a blood clot in his left armpit area, the Angels announced on Friday. According to\u00A0&lt;em&gt;Los Angeles Times\u00A0&lt;/em&gt;reporter Bill Shaikin, Vargas will seek a second opinion before considering surgery to remove the blood clot. The Angels have recalled Billy Buckner from Triple-A to replace Vargas in the rotation for the start on Saturday in Kansas City.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vargas turned out one of his best performances of the season during his last start against the Seattle Mariners on June 17. Vargas struck out a season-high nine batters over seven innings while allowing two runs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 30-year-old lefthander is 6-4 with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP over 91.1 innings this season for the Angels.\nhttps://twitter.com/BillShaikin/status/348212566943756288&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
