"The CT scan confirmed or when they actually did the operation that confirmed where the bleeding was," Angels general manager Billy Eppler said Monday in Oakland, where the club is starting a three-game series against the A's. "They were able to access that area. They were able to seal it, stop the bleeding. He was wheeled back up into recovery and is recovering fine."
The Angels placed Shoemaker on the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-hander A.J. Achter from Triple-A Salt Lake.
The procedure was performed at University of Washington Medical Center, where a third CT scan showed increased bleeding and prompted the decision for surgery.
