Angels put Street on DL with strained oblique

ANAHEIM -- Angels closer Huston Street suffered a strained left oblique while warming up prior to Wednesday's game and was officially placed on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday.

The recovery time on this type of injury tends to vary, with fellow reliever Mike Morin missing nearly six weeks when he suffered a strained oblique last year and starter Matt Shoemaker out for a little less than three weeks down the stretch in 2014. A postgame MRI late Wednesday night confirmed the oblique strain for Street, who will let the ailment heal for 72 hours before doctors determine a timeline.
