Anyone here practice Santaria?

Or maybe Simmons can hook up La Stella with whatever recovery system he uses.

I don't. I also don't have a crystal ball.

For those of us that saw it live, it did not look good at all. I hope he recovers 100%.

He will. The 8-10 week prognosis means that it is a non-displaced fracture. These usually heal without complication. Displaced would require surgery and ORIF. This would have sucked.

It really sucks.  For years we get guys as fillers who absolutely suck.  Goodwin and Stella broke that streak.  Now both injured.

Really sucks for Stella who is having a career year and all star selection!

Such a shame. What an outstanding season he was having. Maybe this helps the Angels resign him at a reasonable rate. He is still young and can come back from this kind of injury. Bummer he has to miss the All Star game as well.

No but there's some Catholic in there somewhere.

It's a shame that Tommy La Stella only had about 24 hours to enjoy his selection.

Yeah, that sucks. 

Dude misses the All Star Game and up two 2 1/2 months of the rest of the season when he was having a career year. 

There's really no way we can get anything in return for him unless he comes back in September, crushes it and we trade him in the offseason. 

What a complete clusterfuck of a season this has been. But forget about us fans and any chance at making the playoffs this season, I feel really bad for Tommy.  

And you can add to that list any chance of winning Comeback Player of the Year award. Maybe next year he'll have a similar season and win it next year!

[SoCalSportsFan]

Hopefully Tommy will go to All-Star game!

It would have been a nice jesture to replace LaStella with an Angels player to sub for him in the game. Ohtani would have been a good choice. 

I doubt LaStella shows up for the game. He will be on crutches and it would be like being invited to your ex girlfriends wedding after only breaking up a short time earlier.

he's 30 and they have him under club control for next year.

Is this the most horrible week in Angels history or what?

He could maybe still. Immediately after being announced as LaStella's replacement, Brandon Lowe got injured and is also on the IL as well.
