Angels Official Website: Skaggs (tightness), Cron (left foot) exit

[AngelsWin.com]

The Angels had to remove starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs and C.J. Cron due to injuries in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rangers at Globe Life Park. Skaggs left with tightness in his right side, while Cron departed after fouling a ball off the top of his left foot.

Obligatory "all star break...next year" post.

Valbuena problem solved, at least in the short term....

[Taylor]

Skaggs will need a right hip replacement.

[fan_since79]

So when Skaggs goes on the DL for a couple of months, our starting rotation will look like this:

Shoemaker, Nolasco, Chavez, Ramirez, and Daniel Wright.

Then when one or more of those goes down with "tightness" in some part of the body, we'll just bring some guys up from the minors.

What is it with Angels pitchers and injuries?!

Could be Banuelos time if someone goes out for an extended DL trip. Especially if that someone is our only lefty in Skaggs.

Interesting how we are always looking for patterns and correlation.  Isn't it possible that there isn't any?  Just because you roll snake eyes 10 times in a row doesn't change the chances of of doing it or not doing it the next time. It is still 1 in 36.

The injuries have been more than frustrating.

Any free agent pitchers out there?

[Stradling]

I think I'll wait a few days before I assume Skaggs is truly broken.  It appears to me that this was more of a precautionary type thing.

"Everything feels fine, but I knew if I kept pitching it was going to get worse." -- Tyler Skaggs on a brief "pinch" between his right ribs and right hip.

Big deal? Little deal? Something in the middle deal? Stay tuned. They'll look at it. The fairly relaxed remarks by Skaggs and the manager make me think he just might not miss a start. But we'll wait for the MRI if it's called for.

I think I read he is out of options...so if you bring him up, he needs to stay....if you're going to keep him..

[Mark68]

Banuelos is still walking way too many hitters in SLC. He needs to get his BB/IP & especially his BB/K ratio down.

That's why I said if Skaggs faced an extended DL trip. Keeps a lefty in the rotation that way too. If it was a couple of starts no sense risking the depth, but if something major happened, that's why Manny's there.

#Angels have Daniel Wright here and CJ Cron is on the DL. Fouled a ball off his foot. Awaiting news on Skaggs (but Jose Valdez is here too)

I agree that people look for patterns where there are none. But bad training, bad scouting, and bad doctors all exist. I'm not saying any of that is the case, but it's more than just random odds.

#Angels LHP Tyler Skaggs (tight right side) said he feels better today. Says tomorrow will be key day to judge. Hasn't heard if he's on DL

That's what half the board was saying when Richards got taken out.

As expected, Tyler Skaggs is going on the DL w right oblique strain. Not official yet because they need to make a 40-man move for Valdez

[tdawg87]

Lol

[Stradling]

Fuck

[tdawg87]

So many sprained vaginas. It's like a gangbang at the Escobar household.

The #Angels DFA'd LHP Greg Mahle to make room on the 40-man roster for RHP Jose Valdez.

I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with the training staff or something along those lines. The amount of pitchers we have on the staff that are extremely fragile is absurd. 

[gurn67]

Perhaps Trout's extreme studliness causes everyone else to become mere mortals in his presence. Thus, the massive amount of injuries the last few years.
