It appears #Angels reliever Dane De La Rosa was recalled and placed on DL. Injury not believed to be serious. Sent to AZ to rehab.

#Angels list reliever Dane De La Rosa's injury as right shoulder irritation. That's in addition to the forearm strain he had. Not good.

 

 

 

shoulder issues, forearm issues....big drop in velocity. Yeah, not expecting anything from him this season

See ya in 2015 Dane. Meanwhile Joel Hanrahan is throwing for teams tomorrow and the Angels are not interested because the pen is in great shape.

RIP DDLR

Shoulder AND forearm?!

 

It was nice knowing you, Dane.

This team seems destined to have a crap bullpen

It was obvious just watching him that something was wrong. 

Just curious, did going to SLC waste an option, why not go directly to the DL ?

Funny how Jepsen and Salas never seem to get injured.

@Alden_Gonzalez: With DLR, #Angels determined he was injured after optioning him. Since you can't option an injured player, they voided it & put him on DL.

Options don't work like that. Players that have options left can be optioned down many times during the season.

Success must put extra stress on a pitcher's arm.

Blanton was healthy too afterall

[Michael Pellicciotti]

fragility in sports particularly baseball is out of control...how in the hell did Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripken play thousands of games without a significant injury???

[Taylor]

Somehow this is Scioscia's fault.

[ELEVEN]

Other than Lou Gehrig's disease?

[QuinlansMinion]

Can we put all the relievers on the DL.

Did this guy even have a rehab stint?

They just threw him up in the bigs?

Solid move by the organization

[Jeff Fletcher]

He pitched 3 games in the minors in his rehab assignment.

By voiding the option the Angels preserve the option year for now.

Welp, there goes any chance we had at a decent pen.
