MESA, Ariz. -- Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons exited Thursday's 7-3 loss to the A's with a left shoulder strain incurred while diving for a ball in the fifth inning.
Simmons will undergo a precautionary MRI, but Angels manager Mike Scioscia said the 28-year-old infielder indicated he was "fine" before departing Hohokam Stadium.
Simmons dived to his right to try to field Jed Lowrie's single in the fifth, but he ended up rolling awkwardly onto his left shoulder on the play. Scioscia and a team trainer immediately came out to attend to Simmons, who subsequently left the game and was replaced by Colin Walsh at shortstop.
