TEMPE, Ariz. -- Andrelton Simmons gave the Angels a brief scare after he rolled awkwardly on his left shoulder while diving for a ball Thursday, but the club can now breathe a sigh of relief.
Simmons, who was diagnosed with a shoulder strain and is considered day to day, said Friday that he feels fine and doesn't expect to be sidelined for long.
"I'm ready to go today if they let me," Simmons said.
The Angels, for their part, decided to play it safe with their Gold Glove Award-winning shortstop, who was out of Friday's lineup and did not join his teammates on the field for stretching and drills.
