Just when Cory Rasmus seem to get in a rhythm for the LA Angels, he would suffer an injury that would put him out for an extended period of time. It happened multiple times as well, which was similar to the Angels as a whole. Every time the Angels would finally look like they were pulling things together someone would go down with an injury including Rasmus.
Rasmus pitched the first six weeks of the season and did decently take away three bad outings in which he gave up three or more runs including on opening day against the Cubs.
