It wasn’t easy to wake up to the news that Griffin Canning, Andrelton Simmons, and Félix Peña were placed on the Injured List. For Canning, it’s an inflamed elbow. We know what that could mean. Simmons has a foot injury that could prevent him from playing elite defense. Peña tore his ACL and is out 6-9 months.
But still, the Angels must play the games. Jaime Barria took the mound and pitched somewhat abbreviated. During his outing, he called for the trainer and briefly went into the clubhouse. He returned to finish out his hard 3 2⁄3 innings of work.
