Taylor Cole Undergoes Shoulder Surgery

By Connor Byrne | August 14, 2020 at 12:21am CDT

Angels right-hander Taylor Cole announced on Instagram that he underwent surgery on a bothersome shoulder Wednesday (hat tip to Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times). It’s unclear how much time Cole will need to recover, but he wrote that there’s “a difficult road” ahead.

The 30-year-old Cole, an ex-Blue Jay, appeared in the majors in each of the two previous seasons with the Angels. He prevented runs at an impressive rate in 2018 (2.75 ERA), but not so much last year (5.92). In all, Cole has thrown 87 2/3 innings of 4.62 ERA/3.31 FIP ball with 9.14 K/9, 3.7 BB/9 and a 49.1 percent groundball rate since the Angels signed him to a minor league contract in 2018.

In the wake of his 2019 struggles, the Angels outrighed Cole in late March. He hasn’t rejoined their 40-man roster since then, but he was part of their 60-player pool.

    The featured image can tell us exactly why he had shoulder surgery. His arm has to do a lot of catching up once he plants his front foot. Cody Allen has similar mechanics.

      That the point ,with all the technology coming into a game there are not focusing in the pitchers lower positions and control ,that is the most important thing in a pitcher ,but to many scientists in the game ,they should Left baseball and go to work for NASA

      It stinks that so many pitchers are getting hurt. The lack of a ‘Spring Training’ type ramp up is clearly one of the driving forces behind so many pitchers getting placed on the DL.

        No its not. Its always the Angels fault according to the mlbtr “experts”. After all they have sooo much knowledge about pitching mechanics no MLB team will hire them
        Go figure.
