Fatigue might force Garrett Richards to bypass Friday start for Angels

The dehydration and cramping that forced Garrett Richards out of his Sunday start in Texas has evolved into "general fatigue," as the Angels have called it, and his scheduled Friday start against Tampa Bay at Angel Stadium is in question.

"We're going to be cautious," Manager Mike Scioscia said.

Richards did not throw his normal between-starts bullpen session. After throwing 79 pitches over four innings Sunday, he played catch normally Monday and Tuesday, but did not do so Wednesday. The Angels will have to make a day-of-game decision based on how he reports feeling Friday.
