The Angels announced today that star shortstop Andrelton Simmons has been activated from the injured list. He is returning from a long absence due to a severe ankle sprain.
Infielder Wilfredo Tovar was designated for assignment to create roster space. In other news, the club officially placed Griffin Canning on the injured list — he was declared out for the season yesterday — while recalling southpaw Jose Suarez.
It’s all but certainly too little, too late for the sinking Halos. But it’s still good to see Simmons return to action. The peerless defensive aficionado hadn’t been hitting quite as well as he did in his prior two campaigns, but will now have a chance to get back on track before the season wraps up.
Tovar, 28, received his lengthiest stint in the majors this year for the Angels. Through 88 plate appearances in 31 games, he managed only a .193/.239/.253 slash line.
Okay, good deal.
And injustice deliciously squared!
Be prepared!
On the one hand I’m glad to hear this as he’s an absolute joy to watch. Great arm, tremendous glove, top shelf situational awareness, he really does it all in the field.
On the other I’m kinda worried that he’ll reinjured that ankle in what’s clearly a lost season. He was sidelined earlier this year for a similar issue and if there is any lingering issue I’d rather him use the final month as an extended recovery
It’s the Angels…. with zero direction, comes uneducated moves. Just a bad bad organization with zero direction.
Uneducated Halo clown will disagree. Just remember Halo clown the standings and scoreboard do not lie.
It’s the Angels… with great direction, comes amazing moves. Just a great great organization with great direction.
Halo fans will agree. Just remember Halo fans next year is going to be a great year.
I hope your life is filled with blinding misery….hehe
