Description The rotator cuff is a common source of pain in the shoulder. Pain can be the result of: Impingement. When you raise your arm to shoulder height, the space between the acromion and rotator cuff narrows. The acromion can rub against (or "impinge" on) the tendon and the bursa, causing irritation and pain.Treatment Nonsurgical Treatment: In most cases, initial treatment is nonsurgical. Although nonsurgical treatment may take several weeks to months, many patients experience a gradual improvement and return to function. Surgical Treatment: When nonsurgical treatment does not relieve pain, your doctor may recommend surgery. http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00032

Steve Klauke ‏@slbeesradio 14m LV has hit 4 cons. HRs in the 4th to give 51s a 6-2 lead. 5th back to back to back to back HR in PCL history. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2014_05_08_lvgaaa_slcaaa_1&t=g_box&sid=t561 Alvarez has given up 5 so far in this game. Don't think he's the answer to replace Santiago.

Alden Gonzalez ‏@Alden_Gonzalez 52m #Angels DFA'd LH Buddy Boshers to make room on the 40-man for Raley. How is Raley better than Boshers? Boshers is certainly better than Walls.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 2m Quite possible one of those relievers will join #Angels this week. Team expecting all three to contribute this season. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 2m As I said in Full Count video http://msn.foxsports.com/video/MLB?vid=bc34d3b7-1dd3-4d93-b66b-410ed9397123 … #Angels have three young relievers very close to majors - Morin, Alvarez, Bedrosian

All the focus has been on Herrera, but it's Alvarez who's been absolute crap so far. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=P&sid=t561&t=p_pbp&pid=501625

Jeff Fletcher ‏@JeffFletcherOCR #Angels have moved LHP Brian Moran to the 60-day DL to make a roster spot for RHP Yoslan Herrera.
