The Story: Matt Shoemaker will be recalled to start the finale of the Detroit series today.
The Monkey Says: He pitched well enough in his Triple-A start, but the Angels also had no choice after they demoted Tropeano when they needed infield depth. They probably could’ve just called up Tropeano instead of Rucinski, so I guess they must be satisfied enough with the progress Shoemaker made in his brief stint in the minors. The last time he ironed out his mechanics, he went on a pretty strong run for six starts, which is exactly what the Angels need right now.
