Garrett Richards and the Angels have no idea when he can return to pitching. The nerve irritation within his right biceps has not abated since it was first diagnosed April 7, so he and the team must just wait.
“There’s no timetable,” Richards said Sunday. “With nerves, they have a mind of their own. They regenerate at their own pace. It’s mainly just staying strong, staying in shape, and waiting for this thing to regenerate.
“It sucks, but it is what it is.”
Richards exited his first start of the season, April 5, with what was initially diagnosed as a biceps cramp, then a strain within the biceps muscle.
