Los Angeles Angels third baseman David Freese left Tuesday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays early due to a hamstring issue, but he told Jeff Fletcher of the O.C. Register afterwards that he doesn't think it's a serious injury. 

Said Freese after the game: "My hamstring has been grabbing a little bit lately. Something I’m managing. We’ll see how it is tomorrow. Wouldn’t even say it’s hurt, just been grabbing. Haven’t been playing with it long. Just felt it a little more tonight so came out. Don’t think I will go on DL."

As Fletcher points out, the club might have to do something if Freese is sidelined even a few days, considering Taylor Featherston (the only other third baseman on the roster at the moment) is hitting just .094. 

Update: The Angels have 'done something', calling up third baseman Kyle Kubitza from Triple-A and designating Kirk Nieuwenhuis for assignment:
