Angels outfielder Dexter Fowler suffered a torn left ACL, the team announced. Fowler will undergo surgery that will keep him out of action for the next 6-9 months, thus prematurely ending his 2021 season.

Let’s forget this game happened
Saturday night was one for the Angels to forget all across the board. Their offense scored only one run on six hits, their defense had three errors and their pitching staff allowed 15 runs.
Things got ugly quickly as the Blue Jays jumped out early and scored seven runs in the second inning. Jose Quintana got roughed up badly, allowing seven runs to score in 1 2?3 innings. He also issued four walks as well.
It all...
Saturday night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays was an absolute disaster for the Los Angeles Angels. And there was a moment of embarrassment for Joe Maddon beyond the score.

The Angels call up Jaime Barria
Early this morning, I had an update on Dexter Fowler, saying it looked as if he wouldn’t be going on the Injured List. Following the game, manager Joe Maddon said that he avoided a major injury and there was a chance he wouldn’t miss much time.
However, the club decided to place him on the 10-day IL on Saturday due to his knee sprain from Friday.
Instead of calling up another outfielder, the Angels have opted to...

He’s not expected to go on the IL
What looked like a very scary injury luckily turned out to be not serious at all. During Friday’s game, Dexter Fowler was hurt after this awkward play at second base.
He exited the game on a cart with a left knee contusion.

The Angels move to 6-2 on the season
The Angels just continue to win, as their 7-1 victory over the Blue Jays on Friday put them at 6-2 on the young season.
The offense was led by Shohei Ohtani, who finished the game with four runs driven in. He stepped up to the plate in the second with the bases loaded. On a 1-2 pitch, Ohtani doubled to center, bringing in all three runs to give the Halos a 4-0 lead.
His next at bat came in the fifth inning, when he led...
Manager Joe Maddon said Friday that Ohtani can throw with a Band-Aid on, but he’ll need to do so without it before returning to the Angels’ rotation.
The Blue Jays have been playing their “home” games at minor-league facility TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Fla., this season due to the pandemic. Curtis Fundamental Elementary School is located right behind the park.

He was expected to pitch on Sunday
Following Thursday night’s win over the Blue Jays, Angels manager Joe Maddon told reporters that Shohei Ohtani will miss his next start on Sunday due to his lingering blister issue.
“It’ll be next week probably,” Maddon said. “He’s nursing the blister. It’s gotten a lot better. That’s what’s holding him back. We want this to be well and not become an issue.”
Ohtani made his first start of the season...

He delivers in the clutch to give the Angels the win
As he seems to always do for the Angels, David Fletcher delivered in the clutch. With runners on second and third with two outs in the 11th inning, Fletcher singled in both runners, putting LA on top 7-5, which ultimately would be the final score of the game.
We cannot emphasize this enough:

He’ll be out for 6-8 months
The pitching staff took a bit of a hit on Thursday afternoon, as RHP Luke Bard will undergo season-ending hip surgery.
Last week, the 30-year-old was placed on the 60-day Injured List, meaning he’d be out through at least June. Now, it looks as if Bard has chosen to undergo surgery on his hip, ending his season.
His recovery time is expected to be between six and eight months, so he should be ready for next season.
Bard has spent...
There a few umpires in MLB history with a worse reputation than Angel Hernandez, and he once again reminded fans of why during Tuesday’s game between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels.

After a year of no fans, 2021 is making up for lost time on the boo front
There were more signs at Angel Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, and fans expressing their displeasure at the Astros, who are finally playing in front of fans for the first time since their punishment for an elaborate sign-stealing scheme became public.

Angels finish opening homestand at 4-2
Dylan Bundy struck out 10 and Mike Trout homered, but despite that killer combo the Los Angeles Angels fell thanks to three home runs hit by the Astros in a 4-2 loss on Tuesday afternoon at The Big A.
Carlos Correa delivered the winning blow in the ninth inning for Houston, a two-run home run to break a tie off closer Jose Iglesias, who has allowed two home runs in his four innings this season after...

The Angels slugger, now in T-shirt form!
Jared Walsh started off his 2021 season exactly how he left off in 2020: red hot with the bat. The Los Angeles Angels slugger slammed two home runs on Sunday night, including a three-run walk-off shot to beat the White Sox.
But it was the Sunday night walk-off home run that we’re commemorating here. Inspired by Matt Vasgersian’s call of the homer on ESPN, you can rep the Angels with a “He went to Jared” shirt with Walsh on the...
