Andrew Heaney will take the mound for the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and that itself is a victory for the left-hander.
Heaney's toughest opponent in his career has been his own body, but when healthy, he's shown an ability worthy of his selection as the Marlins' first-round draft choice in 2012.
Since joining the Angels in 2015, Heaney has been beset with shoulder and elbow injuries, including undergoing Tommy John surgery. He's averaged just 14.4 starts per season.
Sunday's start against the Rangers, though, will be the 29-year-old's fourth of the season.
