BREAKING: The Los Angeles Angels have just announced that left-hander Tyler Anderson has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a strained left oblique. This sudden development comes after Anderson’s recent performance against the Houston Astros, where he pitched five scoreless innings despite feeling discomfort.
In his current season, Anderson holds a record of 2-8 with a 4.56 ERA over 26 starts. Following Friday’s game, he expressed concerns about his health, stating, “I had a feeling the whole time that this was not going to be a good situation at the end.” Anderson indicated that while the strain is concerning, he hopes it won’t sideline him for the entire season.
To fill Anderson’s spot on the roster, the Angels have signed right-hander Jose Ureña. Ureña, who was designated for assignment by the Minnesota Twins on August 23, has a 4.58 ERA in four appearances this season, including three starts. This marks his tenure with the Angels as the 11th team he has played for in his 11-year career.
The Angels, currently seeking to maintain their competitive edge, are facing an uphill battle with Anderson’s absence. Fans and players alike are anxiously awaiting updates on his recovery timeline. As the team prepares for upcoming games, all eyes will be on how they adjust to this significant loss.
Stay tuned for more updates on Anderson’s condition and the Angels’ roster changes as this story develops.
