The strain in the extensor muscles of Matt Shoemaker’s right forearm has abated a bit, but not enough, and the Angels put the right-hander on the 10-day disabled list Saturday. He will miss at least one turn through the club’s starting rotation.
The strain surfaced two starts ago in Houston. It returned an inning into his Wednesday start against the New York Yankees, forcing his premature exit. While he has not had further tests, he said the soreness seems to be improving.
“It’s just a little spot on the top of my forearm,” Shoemaker said Saturday.
