What a difference a month makes!!! The LA Angels could have just taken the excuse train superhighway after Simba went down, but just like they have done all season they have kept fighting. The Angels went 20-14 in Simmons absence and are two games over .500 for the first time all season.
For Simmons returning from the 34-game lay off couldn’t come soon enough.
“It was hard being out. I just tried to distract myself as much as possible until could start walking around and resuming baseball activities. I played with my dog a lot and did a lot of things that my wife wanted to do,” Simmons said of his rehab.
