Shoulder issue again puts Nick Tropeano on Angels' disabled list
A maddening season for Nick Tropeano continued Tuesday when he was put on the disabled list for the third time in barely three months because of shoulder inflammation.
The right-hander was pulled from his start Monday against Detroit after five one-hit, one-run innings because of what the Angels described as tightness in the joint.
He was out for 10 days in May and sat out 31 games starting in mid-June because of the problem, which Tropeano said has been diagnosed as bursitis.
“It’s more annoying than it is significant,” Eppler said. “You want to correct some movement and free up some space.”
