I imagine this takes some of the pressure off of Calhoun, as Adell is no longer fast-tracked to the team this year.

 

I heard that Calhoun hired the Clinton foundation to sabotage Adell's career.

I'm at the game and saw it happen. I thought that it was his ankle when it happened. He was going 1st to 3rd and hurt himself rounding second.

I can't wait until he's on a weightless treadmill.

Geezuz. Every time an Angels player stubs a toe, some of you go full emo. 

More injuries are going to happen... before the season starts. Welcome to baseball.

Getting carted off the field is not normal spring training as usual. 

[Dick Enberg]

Screw all this! What time is the Phillie game on?

[ScottT]

It's not as normal as the Eeyore woe is me crap from people on this board regarding injuries to Angels players.

Don't be silly.

He wasn't shot in the back of the head.

This is the most Angels' headline of all time... 

Only thing missing is dehydration and forearm cramping. 

[Second Base]

Depending on the severity of both, Adell may not miss any time in the regular season.

- Grade one ankle sprains take a week or two. Grade two take about three weeks in my experience (two separate grade 2's during my unimpressive football days).

- Hamstring strains are a little trickier because it depends on a lot of factors. If it's just a mild strain, he'll be right as rain within a week. If there's a very slight tear, you're looking at two weeks. If it's grade two (also had that once in football, I really should have just stuck with baseball), it's more like a month.

So depending on the severity, Adell will be out anywhere from a week to a month. Given that it's early March, and just ST, the Angels will no doubt just hold him out for the rest of it just to make sure this doesn't linger at all. But minor league opening day is a month out. So even if these are both serious, he probably only misses a week or two to start the season. But in reality, ending his Spring right now doesn't hurt him at all. He impressed enough to leave a lasting impression on the staff and fans. 

So to sum it up, he's probably done with ST. But he should be good to go for the regular season.

But... Angels, bananas, trainers, setbacks, curses, Dallas McPherson...

I heard that he initially aggravated the hamstring taking a dump.

The Angels' staff needs to get more pro-active on enemas............in the morning, of course.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell was forced to leave Saturday's spring training game against the Chicago Cubs after suffering a left hamstring strain and right ankle sprain while running the bases, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.

The club's top prospect slipped and fell over after rounding second base, walking off the field under his own power despite showing signs of considerable pain before leaving the ballpark on a cart.

Adell is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, ending an impressive camp during which he posted a .364/.440/.455 slash line with two doubles.

[ScottT]

Multiple weeks means about 42, right?

Trout is definitely going to the Phillies

[Taylor]

Multiple = anything between 2 and infinity weeks

[ScottT]

Maybe Barbaro status. Typical Angels

[UndertheHalo]

Now they’re saying he’s going to have an MRI tomorrow.  If they come back and say he destroyed his knee I will light candles.  Actually, I should probably light candles for him anyway. 

Also, I’ll never trust the Angels initial releases on injuries ever again.

Adelll back in the dugout:

If he misses more than 6-8 weeks... thoughts and prayers to the Eeyore's here, on Twitter., and on Halos Heaven

Eyore just accepts the world as it is mang. 

[IEAngelsfan]

Look on the bright side, at least his junk didn't fall off.

[Blarg]

Are you sure he didn't trip over that instead of the bag? 

 

 

Tripod jokes return.

He walked off under his own power and then was carted out of the stadium. If you want to be all negative at least have your facts straight lol

[Chuck]

Such a bummer. I hope there is no ligament damage to the ankle or knee and that the hamstring isn't too bad. 

[WeatherWonk]

This is actually the perfect scenario for The Gospel According to Angels Win for Adell.

His First Time in spring training camp, he goes down for 40 days and 40 nights.

The stage is set for the Second Coming.......
