Moore, 22, Dov tried to grab a grounder of Ozi Albiz in the middle for a single and left the game in the sixth innings of hosts Braves on Wednesday. Moore was replaced by Kevin Pneumon.
“Anytime you see someone (Moore) is such an injury, you are the worst scared,” said Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery.
He said that Moore may disappear two weeks “looking at the best-case landscape.”
Moore started her major league on 13 June. He is batting.
The angels chose Moore with the eighth overall pick of the 2024 MLB draft.
