ARLINGTON -- The Angels are still searching for answers on Matt Shoemaker, whose electromyography and nerve conduction study on his right forearm earlier this week yielded no new findings of nerve irritation, according to a statement released by the club Wednesday.
Shoemaker will undergo a followup nerve conduction exam in a few weeks and remains shut down from throwing. The 31-year-old right-hander landed on the disabled list with a forearm strain on April 3 after experiencing discomfort during his season debut against the A's on March 31.
Shoemaker also dealt with a forearm issue last year, which cost him more than half the season and required season-ending surgery to release the compressed radial nerve in his arm.
