Angels pitcher Patrick Sandoval said his side started bothering him during his final five pitches of the third inning Monday against the Texas Rangers. By the next inning, he was out of the game.
The Angels later announced Sandoval was dealing with right oblique tightness.
“I thought it was just cramping or something getting tight,” Sandoval said after the Angels’ 5-1 loss. “Got a little bit of work done in between innings. I felt good enough to go back out and then it just progressively came back a little bit worse and worse.
