OAKLAND, Calif. -- Los Angeles Angels right-hander Garrett Richards has missed 136 games and spent over five months on the disabled list since his first start of the season on April 5 at the Oakland Coliseum.
Richards pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings against the Oakland Athletics that day before leaving the game with an injury to his right biceps.
Richards will come off the disabled list Tuesday night and return to the rotation for his second start of the season, once again at the Coliseum against the A's.
"I mean, why wouldn't it line up that way," Richards said Monday, smiling at the coincidence.
