Angels pitcher Jered Weaver has tight nerves in his neck

Jered Weaver slowly leaned over at his locker Friday morning. He was asked how he felt.

"I feel like Jered Weaver," he replied.

It looked like Weaver was uncomfortable.

Later in the day, the 33-year-old right-hander would meet with the Angels' orthopedic physician to hear more about the state of his neck.

Weaver underwent an MRI examination Thursday, one day after he gave up three home runs and struggled mightily during a spring game outing. He said it revealed tightening of the nerves in his neck, a long-standing source of pain.
