The Angels got back another piece of their starting rotation on Monday, as they activated Jose Quintana from the Injured List. In the move, the club optioned Jaime Barria to Triple-A Salt Lake and Chris Rodriguez to Double-A Rocket City
Quintana was placed on the IL on May 21 due to left shoulder inflammation. Prior to the injury, he was 0-3 with a 7.22 ERA. It had been a rough month to begin the season for the veteran, but hopefully the shoulder injury was part of the reason for it. He’s had some positives, as his strikeout per nine rate of 13.
