After the Angels used the same five-man rotation for a near-record amount of time, Kyle Hendricks is now the last man standing due to the schedule, ineffectiveness and injury.
Tyler Anderson has been on the shelf with a left oblique strain for nearly a month. Kochanowicz has been jettisoned away from the major leagues for a month now as well, and made his last start before the minor league season ended with the Salt Lake Bees all the way back on September 2nd (this was not reported but it feels like the organization shut him down for the year due to workload/confidence/performance related reasons).
