However a week into the 2019 season Brad Ausmus is problem wondering what he signed up for. The LA Angels season thus far has not gone as planned, not even close for Ausmus. Ausmus knew he would be without the services of 2018 Rookie of the Year Shohei Ohtani for at least the first month. However, that is only the beginning of Ausmus’ problems.
Just before the season started, in the second to last exhibition game, Justin Upton ran into the wall and hurt his toe and was later diagnosed with turf toe which will cause him to miss up to three months.
