Is anyone else worried about Taylor Ward's injury?

Good luck getting a playoff spot if we lose him for five months like Trout last year. Forget about it.

If Ward's injury is serious, it's too late to worry about it. If it's not serious, why worry about it?

May 25: RF Taylor Ward still out of lineup with neck stinger
Ward made a nice running catch to rob Tony Kemp of extra bases in the ninth inning of the Angels' May 20 game, but crashed into the right-field wall and exited the game. Ward was checked for a concussion after the game and passed the protocols, ruling out a concussion. He did, however, suffer what head athletic trainer Mike Frostad called a neck stinger, which caused Ward to feel some numbness in his right shoulder. Ward underwent MRI exams on his neck and right shoulder on May 23, but they came back clean. The issue is some weakness in his right shoulder, which means he is available to hit, but hasn't been cleared to play the outfield. He wasn't in the lineup on May 24 or May 25. Angels manager Joe Maddon said Ward was feeling about 10% better on May 25 than he was the previous day and isn't expected to need a stint on the injured list. -- Rhett Bollinger (Last updated: May 25)

 

It doesnt' appear to be long term. Bet he's back by June 1.

I bet he’s out for the season. A nerve injury sounds very serious.

[tdawg87]

I bet his career is over.

Fixed

I wonder if they'll put some more padding on that fence

[Taylor]

The solution here is obvious.

It's been six days already.  Please bring up an outfielder!

Best I can is Jo Adell

Yep. 

It's only a matter of time before Wade costs us a win.

This situation has been handled incredibly poorly and you cannot convince me otherwise.

That's fine. Better than Wade.

That should have been done days ago.

It's only a band aide 

[Angel Oracle]

Only Maddon would put an INF in the OF continually.

[rageous]

Wade has hit for .386 OPS in May. 

Stop putting him out there in the outfield every game.

[fan_since79]

Is this going to be like Trout last year where we get occasional updates every few weeks that say pretty much nothing?

I was hoping to see him back by Saturday since I've got tickets, but I guess not.

Well, they only need a band aid

I'm legitimately pissed off at this point. Probably angrier than I should be, but this situation is a fucking joke.

Maddon just won’t give up the luxury of an additional RP, despite having some off days.  It’s dumb.
