Sadly, these types of post are happening way to often this season. This is a season where injuries have crippled the LA Angels starting rotation. Now, another pitcher is hitting the DL for an extended amount of time.
Veteran reliever Cory Rasmus will undergo surgery to repair a core muscle as first reported by Alden Gonzalez of mlb.com.
This means that Jhoulys Chacin and Joe Smith will likely get extended playing time in the wake of Rasmus’ injury.
The LA Angels won their first series in nearly a month yesterday, as they beat the Tampa Bay Rays three games to one.
