Angels put Simmons on IL, Ohtani OK after scare

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels received equal bits of good and bad news Tuesday.

Shohei Ottani was fine, a day after he was hit on the right ring finger while swinging on a third strike.

But they are going to be without Andrelton Simmons for awhile.

The shortstop was placed on the 10-day injured list after he hurt his left ankle during Monday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Simmons sustained a grade 3 ankle sprain when he tried to beat out an infield hit during the eighth inning.
