Angels reliever Jake Jewell has broken right fibula; season over

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jake Jewell broke his right fibula in Wednesday night's game with the Red Sox in Boston and will need season-ending surgery.

Jewell was trying to make a play at the plate in the eighth inning. With runners on second and third and Mitch Moreland at the plate, Jewell uncorked a wild pitch.

He raced to the plate to cover and appeared to slip before getting there, with his right ankle getting caught beneath him.

The right-hander remained down on the ground for several minutes before a stretcher was wheeled out to home plate.
