The Angels are winning, but they continue to lose players to injury, rendering extended success ever more difficult to obtain.
On Saturday, the Angels placed left-hander Tyler Skaggs and first baseman C.J. Cron on the 10-day disabled list. Both players were hurt in the club’s victory over Texas on Friday night at Globe Life Park.
Skaggs felt a pinch in his right side while recording a fifth-inning strikeout, stayed in for one more batter, then told the team he felt something that was later diagnosed as an oblique strain.
On Saturday, he said the feeling within the muscle was improving.
