TORONTO – Matt Joyce’s frustrating season has taken a turn worse than any 0-for-4.
On Monday, Joyce was scratched from the Angels lineup because he forgot the Angels had a day game and showed up to the ballpark late.
“It was a mistake,” Joyce said Tuesday. “It’s definitely something that will never happen again. Obviously I felt terrible about it.”
Joyce, who is hitting .143 in his first year with the Angels, was originally in the lineup at DH for Monday’s game in Toronto, which was a rare series-opening matinee because of Victoria Day in Canada.
