Angels reliever Huston Street strained a back muscle during his spring debut on Friday, Angels General Manager Billy Eppler said. Street will not throw for the next three to four weeks and is unlikely to be ready for opening day.
Street underwent an MRI exam on Friday, following his early exit after experiencing discomfort to one of his latissimus muscles. On Saturday morning, a doctor examined the results and diagnosed the strain between Grades 1 and 2, with 1 as the least severe and 3 as the most.
The 33-year-old right-hander, a potential free agent at year’s end, is attempting to rebound from the worst season of his career.
