The Angels are set to place right-hander Trevor Cahill on the injured list with elbow soreness, according to Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times. Manager Brad Ausmus suggested Cahill won’t miss more than one start, though. Regardless of how long he sits out, this has been a disastrous season for Cahill, who joined the Angels after a solid 2018 showing with the Athletics. The 31-year-old Cahill has recorded a 7.18 ERA/6.35 ERA with 7.18 K/9 and 3.12 BB/9 in 57 2/3 innings since the Angels inked him to a $9MM guarantee over the winter.
- Cahill and fellow righty Matt Harvey (one year, $11MM) were the Angels‘ highest-profile free-agent additions during the offseason. Harvey has joined Cahill in disappointing during an injury-limited campaign, but he’s on the way back. Harvey began a Triple-A rehab assignment Saturday, the team announced. The 30-year-old went to the IL on May 25 because of an upper back strain. He got off to a brutal start before then, posting 48 innings of 7.50 ERA/6.17 FIP pitching with 6.56 K/9, 3.94 BB/9 and 2.06 HR/9.
- The Padres announced that they’ve placed reliever Adam Warren on the 10-day IL with a right forearm strain. The team recalled righty Gerardo Reyes in a corresponding move. The injury adds to what has been a trying season for Warren, a 31-year-old free-agent signing who has registered a 5.34 ERA/6.84 FIP with 7.85 K/9, 3.77 BB/9 and 2.83 HR/9 in 28 2/3 innings.
- Mets reliever Justin Wilson is slated to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com tweets. Wilson’s not sure when he’ll return, but barring setbacks, it’ll have to be within 30 days. Elbow soreness sent Wilson to the injured list May 11, the second time the southpaw has been on the IL with issues in the joint this season. Not only that, but Wilson – whom the Mets signed to a two-year, $10MM contract in the offseason – has yielded five earned runs on nine hits with four walks (against nine strikeouts) in 9 1/3 innings in 2019.
- The Rangers have activated righty reliever Matt Bush and assigned him to the Double-A level, per TR Sullivan of MLB.com. It’s an important step forward for Bush, who underwent surgery on a partial UCL tear in his elbow last September. However, the procedure didn’t stop the Rangers from bringing back the 33-year-old on a minor league deal. Bush debuted with the Rangers in 2016 and has since notched a 3.35 ERA/3.65 FIP with 9.1 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 137 innings.
Wow, I forgot that Matt Bush signed a minor league contract with the Rangers. Hopefully, he can be ready soon and help the Rangers reach the playoffs.
nah, f that clown he should be blacklisted from mlb.
He made a mistake, received consequences, and paid the price for that mistake. He never gets to do anything again? Should every prison sentence be life?
Wait, wait, wait… he assaulted a woman by throwing a baseball at her head, assaulted two juveniles, and ran a 72 year old over with a vehicle. No, I don’t believe he should get another chance.
You’re a clown, let’s blacklist you from the comments section.
Yea, he gets 4 strikes and no one else gets a second chance!
Steve Howe got more!
I completely forgot too. What a shot in the arm for this lackluster bullpen
angels need to cut those 2 loose
$$$$$$$$ is the reason why they’ll stay.
It’s money spent, so money has nothing to do with it. However, as bad as they are, would you rather still be paying some of these terrible off-season signings in 2020 and beyond? They were signed because the Angels could get rid of them.
Don’t worry, they will cut them loose in November.
For the 20 spent they could have had Keuchel. Who, while not the CY of yesteryear, is a reliable if not above average, take the ball every 5 days guy they have needed since Weaver was a viable option
angels arent in the run. but they never consider pitching in the offseason
No they could not have. Look at what he was asking for.
The fallacy is that Eppler tried to sell fans on his belief Harvey and Cahill were going to make their team WS legit this year. Common sense says otherwise. And yes, here we are. Another wasted year for Trout, et. al.
I don’t think he tried to sell that at all. What I see is a guy who was trying anything he could to re-sign Mike Trout, first and foremost. If that meant gambling on some short term deals in order have enough in the coffers to still negotiate with Trout, so be it. He wrote this season off before it started.
When oh when is Odor going to be gone?
Cue bad stinky odor jokes…..
He’s arguably the worst everyday player in the majors right now.
Time to DFA Cahill and Harvey. Eat the money and let the kids pitch. We’ll pick Cahill up at the garage sale for $.50
who are the kids? they are letting youngster pitch if they are ready. you cannot let unprepared youngsters get eaten by mlb hitters.
Barria and Suarez
the last time barria was up he was bombed. so was suarez.
Barria pitched Thursday 5IP 3H 1ER 2W 6K’s. Yeah he really got bombed. Canning has an ERA under 3.5. Suarez, pitched good in his only major league start. And they still have Sandoval in Triple A, who will reach the majors this season.
the previous game for barria? 1.2 innings and 7 runs! yeah, he’s ready!
Barria had a 3.41 ERA last season in 26 starts. Instead of letting him start, he has mainly used as a reliever. So Barria should be starting. The Angels are going anywhere, with starting garbage like, Skaggs, Harvey and Cahill. Let Barria, Canning, Suarez and Sandoval get a chance.
yeah, with season going nowhere call up all the prospects! thank god you are not allowed to run a baseball team!
Exactly. Not to mention Canning will likely be shut down in September. There are two many innings available as is.
hmm, i remember people talking Warren up like he was Mo or something last offseason. look how that’s turned out.
The Angels should of took the $20 million they wasted on those 2 and got $100 bills and threw them out during the games. The fans at least wouldn’t f been happy. 9 and 11 million for those has beens. Wow
stop the pain — dump Horrible Harv’
