AL West Notes: Young, Barnette, Carlson, Mariners

By Jeff Todd | July 4, 2018 at 12:10pm CDT

Angels outfielder Chris Young is the latest Halos player to turn up with an injury issue. He left last night’s game with a left hamstring strain. While a full medical assessment likely won’t occur until today, at the earliest, it is likely “going to be a while” until Young is back, skipper Mike Scioscia told reporters including Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register (Twitter link). Young, 34, has struggled out of the gates, posting a .168/.252/.363 batting line in 128 plate appearances. [Update: Young has been placed on the DL]

Here’s more from the AL West:

  • Similarly, the outlook is a bit concerning for Rangers righty Tony Barnette. He’ll be looked over today but is already believed to be dealing with a potentially worrisome shoulder strain, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News tweets. Though the Texas organization isn’t contending, and can simply recall just-optioned righty Chris Martin, the potential loss of Barnette is still notable. The 34-year-old had pitched his way into a useful trade piece for the Rangers. Through 26 1/3 innings, he owns a 2.39 ERA with 8.9 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 along with a 51.4% groundball rate. He’s earning only $1.5MM this year, making him a budget-friendly target — if he can avoid a lengthy DL stint in the run-up to the deadline. [Update: Barnette has been placed on the DL; Martin was recalled to take the open roster spot]
  • Mariners prospect Sam Carlson is going to be out for quite some time after undergoing Tommy John surgery, as Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports. GM Jerry Dipoto explains that the organization made every effort to keep the 2017 second-rounder off of the surgeon’s table. Ultimately, though, there was no alternative to a full replacement of his ulnar collateral ligament. As Dipoto notes, the youngster will still only be twenty years of age when he’s nearing a return, though it’s certainly possible he won’t see competitive action until the 2020 campaign.
  • While the Mariners’ new commitment to Wade LeBlanc will surely have some impact on the team’s near-future rotation planning, Dipoto also says the just-announced extension won’t constrict the organization at the deadline, as MLB.com’s Greg Johns reports. Though Dipoto says he’s rather bullish on LeBlanc’s ability to remain a quality rotation piece, he also says that the club will still consider additions to bolster its starting staff. At the same time, he didn’t sound like he feels compelled to add an arm. “I think if there is an opportunity for us to expand or augment our pitching group, wherever that is, then we’re going to be attentive to that,” says Dipoto. “If there is the ability to go out and find a guy who we feel like either takes some of the inning stress off our starters in the second half or can give us that late punch at the back end of our bullpen, then we’ll go that route. And if that opportunity doesn’t present itself, we probably won’t chase it.”

    Oh No. Where will the Halos find a dead ferret to replicate Young’s prodigious production?

      I think the other Chris Young could have put up better offensive numbers.

    Oakland offers a slightly used Matt Joyce.

      I don’t see that happening for three reasons. For how he performed for the Angels, forgetting what time the game was, and how he was suspended last season for using homophobic language at Angels fans.

      Oakland shouldn’t be offering him, they should be releasing his washed up ass. Dude is finished in MLB.

    I think Wade LeBlanc would be better suited to be a ‘scheduled’ long relief pitcher.

    Pitch once every 4 or 5 days, but pitch a total of 3 – 4 innings per appearance.

      Basically what he is doing now. Except he has gone a little longer with quality. Honestly the starting 5 is pretty solid considering what they are.

      Why? He was great last night over 7 and shut down the Red Sox a couple starts ago over 7+ innings

    That’s like saying we should’ve used Jamie Moyer as a long reliever when he began learning to pitch later in his career and won 21 in the show one season. Congrats Wade!! You deserve this. Great game shutting Anaheim down last night!! Time to keep balling! Oakland ain’t giving up, so all we gotta do is play like this ’til the trade deadline and they realize it’s time trade pieces off! J/k
