ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Los Angeles Angels right-hander Matt Shoemaker has already made it through a full spring training and four regular-season starts this year, but he isn't quite all the way back.
It will be more "official" when he gets his first win since sustaining a frightening injury last year in a game against the Seattle Mariners. He will get another chance Wednesday when he makes the start against the Oakland Athletics.
Shoemaker was hit squarely on the right side of his head by a 105 mph line drive off the bat of Seattle's Kyle Seager last Sept 4.
